Boeing's action is equally short sighted. They saw a conducive political climate and are leveraging their new found friendship with WH to promote their agenda.
However, Boeing at least look to the future as their stated objective is the prevention of CS500 seeing the light of day.
These trade wars are generally lose lose situations for all parties involved, but they are also a necessary evil to keep the competition on check.
I honestly believe CSeries is a decent product. It has performed extremely well with Swiss and AirBaltic. Very close for certification on LCY. It is the only product which can be compete against Airbus and Boeing...Russian or Chinese product has a serious reliability concern...after so many years Superjet has SN Brussel Airline as a customer on a wet lease from Irish CityJet...this is more or less as a stop gap lease and replacement for Avro RJ 100. Irkut MC21 or Comac C919 has still not found any customers in West.
