Trump Orders Import Adjustment on Jet Engines, Hitting GE and RTX
GE sits 46% above its 52-week low of $246.75.
Summary
President Trump signed a proclamation adjusting imports of commercial aircraft, jet engines, and parts. The details—tariffs, quotas, or other restrictions—are not yet public, but any barrier raises costs for GE Aerospace, a major engine exporter and user of global supply chains. This follows a strong Q1 and recent defense contract wins, but trade policy uncertainty now clouds the outlook. RTX, also named, faces similar exposure. The market will react to the scope and severity once specifics emerge.
