Larsen Releases Statement on Trump’s Threats to Aircraft Manufacturing

Today, Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) released the following statement after President Trump threatened to decertify and add new tariffs on Canadian-made aircraft:

"Anyone with knowledge of aircraft manufacturing understands the key role Canadian partners play in building safe, reliable planes to transport people and goods across the continent. Threatening tariffs and decertification is bad for business, jeopardizes the industry and the aerospace supply chain and risks the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of hardworking women and men in my district and elsewhere.”

Rep. Larsen is a member of the New Democrat Coalition Trade and Tariffs Task Force and has been a leader in opposing the Trump administration’s tariffs.
