Dassault Aviation's CEO, Eric Trappier, expressed significant concern over impending U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on EU imports, which would include French-made Falcon business jets.
These tariffs threaten to deeply impact Dassault Falcon's U.S. presence, particularly its service facilities in Little Rock, Arkansas, which employ 1,700 workers.
Dassault Aviation fears the proposed tariffs could compromise its projected target of delivering 40 Falcon jets this year.

President Donald Trump has said he intends to impose 25 percent tariffs on EU imports, which would include French-made Falcon business jets.
