And you believe the "U.S. Trade Representative". Yeh right????
Over the years I have learnt to disbelieve everything that comes out of the US regarding trade and competition. They simply don't know how to be honest and fair with any other country with anything be it aircraft, wheat, steel or any commodity.
The quote you put forward is what I would expect them to say.
Considering the serious downturn in the US market where Boeing sells most of its aircraft and the recent high number of cancellations and postponements that has mainly affected Boeing, what rabbit has illuded to regarding the state of the health of the Boeing Company might be the reason that this sort of pressure is now required to prop up the company.
