Posted by Timothy Miller on 7/13/26 5:00 PM

On July 9, 2026, the President of the United States issued a Proclamation announcing that no additional tariffs would result from the Section 232 investigation into imports on commercial aircraft, jet engines, and associated aircraft and engine parts. 

The Proclamation directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to "jointly pursue negotiation of agreements or continue any current negotiations" to address the "threatened impairment of national security" imposed by imports of commercial aircraft, jet engines, and associated aircraft and engine parts.

The Proclamation instructs Commerce and the USTR to provide updates on the progress of any negotiations by January 5, 2027. The President may take further action, including imposing tariffs or other import restrictions, if negotiations are unsuccessful.
