Five U.S. Senators urged Obama to bar Airbus in KC-X contest
U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell, Debbie Stabenow, Sam Brownback, Pat Roberts, and Kit Bond together wrote a letter to President Barack Obama on Friday asking him to deny Airbus the chance to bid for the KC-X contract.
The bipartisan group of lawmakers said recent WTO interim ruling found that the European consortium had benefited from illegal subsidies.
"These subsidies have given Airbus an unfair advantage in the competition to replace aerial refueling tankers at the Department of Defense."
