Gonna be so exciting to have 30 Rolls Royce engines under the tree.

Which will help union workers at Boeing.

Who make engines too.

of jet engines for commercial aircraft. They are one of the engine types used in the Boeing 787.

The 787 is a plane designed by bean counters - the same people that brought you the DC10

With the tariffs, I was only going to buy one, but now I will buy two!

They are,so out of touch!!!

This has nothing to do with Rolls-Royce cars.

(Also the amazing P-38 "twin-tailed devil", not mentioned in the article)

They've been at this a l o o o o o n g time.

Trump gives break to Rolls-Royce cars but threatens more tariffs on Mattel toys

“We took it from 25 to 10 on Rolls-Royce, because Rolls-Royce is not going to be built here. I wouldn't even ask them to do that. It's a very special car, and it's a very limited number, too," Trump said. "It's not, you know, one of the monster car companies that makes millions of cars. They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury."

And another thing.
I guess he's screwing the US companies that make jet engines. There are a ton of them.

….”stop the steal” windfall. Prior to that, his plane sat on the tarmac needing engines for years.

but both of them produce engines in joint ventures with foreign manufacturers. GE and the French company Safran make CFM engines, while Pratt & Whitney works with Japanese and German companies.

As far as what I know about helicopters, Turbomeca is now a Safron company. Still made here with Safron ownership. RR also makes turbine engines for rotorcraft, with a company called Rolls Royce America. Produced here, owned elsewhere.

which is the main subject of the thread. Most of the names on the list aren't in that business. Lycoming and Continental, for example, mostly make engines for general aviation aircraft. Garrett, which was a major manufacturer of turboprop engines, merged into Lycoming, and both are now owned by Allied Signal. But if you want a big engine for a big airplane you'll have to get it from GE, RR, P&W or one of their alliances.

RR makes all sizes of turbines. For example, they're a big into helicopter power plants. So, it's not all about jetliners.

and they supply them to Boeing. This has absolutely nothing to do with Rolls-Royce cars, which are now made by a subsidiary of BMW.

less about Boeing. They lack the lobbying power and bribe capability to get any special carve-outs on Trumpy's fiscal disaster.

That should really help the average car buyer...

Rolls Royce doesn't even make cars any more; cars sold under the old RR name are now made by BMW. This is about jet engines, which RR does make, and sells to airplane manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus. It's probably a backdoor deal that Boeing is paying for somehow.

I should have added that in...

cause we can't inconvenience the wealthy and the businesses that cater to them

Rolls-Royces, Bentleys and Jaguars. He said those are "luxury cars" and not many are sold in the U. S., so exempting them wouldn't make much of a difference. Didn't hear him mention engines at that time.

If the tariffs are lifted only on the minuscule number of ultra-luxury cars the UK exports, that's not much of a deal anyhow.

Their engines are going on the new B52J variant.

Very small government and efficient of the small government Republicans.

that it took them so long to exempt Rolls Royce engines.
