The tariff exemptions on aircraft, aero engines and parts that have been secured are truly significant. Alongside the anticipated UK Government’s commitment to the sector in the forthcoming Industrial Strategy they will help British aerospace to thrive, creating skilled jobs, exports and delivering growth for the UK economy. The US is a vitally important market for Rolls-Royce and we welcome the strengthening of trade ties between the two countries. Aerospace is an engine for growth for the global economy. Rolls-Royce plays a critical role in ensuring the UK has highly-differentiated and world-leading capability in aero-engine technology. With strategic investment and long-term planning, it delivers economic growth, skilled jobs and exports.”
