Washington state lawmakers must act to address WTO issues to avoid retaliatory tariffs - governor

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Washington state lawmakers must act to address WTO issues in order to avoid European Union retaliatory tariffs that would damage Boeing Co (N:BA) and the commercial aircraft industry, the state's governor Jay Inslee said on Wednesday.

"Boeing has said it would like that tax incentive at least suspended, until the issue is fully settled with the European Union," Inslee said.
