Delta Air Lines CEO shares unexpected plan to address Trump’s tariffs
Delta Air Lines plans to delay aircraft deliveries rather than pay Trump’s proposed tariffs, while scaling back growth to stay profitable in 2025.
President Donald Trump’s tariff roller coaster has caused some market instability over the past few months. After delaying most of them, U.S. stocks are recovering, likely due to Trump’s decision on exemptions for certain high-tech products.
On April 13, Trump clarified that tech products like laptops and smartphones were not being exempted but were instead being moved into a different tariff “bucket.” He also announced that semiconductors and the broader electronics supply chain would be reviewed in upcoming National Security Tariff Investigations.
