Airbus stock drops 3% as Trump tariff threat hits exporters; robot purchase surfaces
Airbus shares fell 3.2% to 210.40 euros after President Trump warned of new U.S. tariffs on European exports, rattling investors. The proposed 10% tariff on imports from eight European countries could rise to 25% in June if no deal is reached. EU diplomats are preparing possible retaliation. Airbus delivered 793 aircraft in 2025 and will report full-year results on Feb. 19.
