Stuffers, my original point had nothing to do with Airbus wings, but foreign policy. A US President might only be in office for 4 years, and long term US foreign policy and strategic direction of travel is decided by others, and not by Trump !I think you will find that EADS/Airbus' actual stock is wholly owned by France & Germany. BAE simply own 20% of Airbus 'UK'. As a mere contractor who mostly churns out aircraft wings, I imagine BAE's miserly 20% of a UK based company carries little or no weight when the EU/EADs bean counting is in full swing.
For reasons of security, trade, liberal democracy and our shared values, the 'west' has been working jointly on the US-EU partnership since the days of Eisenhower. Brexit won't alter that ! We'll just be sidelined until we rejoin the EU.
