Boeing CFO Raises Alarm Over Tariff Impact on Aircraft Parts Supply Chain

Boeing CFO Highlights Tariff Concerns at Industry Conference

In a recent address at the Bank of America industrials conference, Boeing's Chief Financial Officer, Brian West, voiced significant concerns regarding the potential disruption of aircraft parts supply due to President Donald Trump's tariffs. Despite the looming challenges, West assured investors of Boeing's capability to manage the situation in the short term, thanks to sufficient inventory levels.

However, the company is not immune to the financial impact of these tariffs, with an anticipated $150 million charge in the first quarter. This revelation underscores the broader implications of trade policies on the aerospace industry's supply chain and financial health.
