Airbus Group CEO Guillaume Faury recently warned employees that the company must be prepared to deal with alarming new geopolitical risks due to "significant" logistical and financial losses caused by US protectionism and global trade tensions last year. In an internal memo obtained by Reuters, Faury said, "The beginning of 2026 is marked by unprecedented multiple crises and turbulent geopolitical situations. We must continue forward in the spirit of unity and self-reliance." He pointed out, "The industrial environment we are in is difficult, and the confrontation between major powers has exacerbated the situation." Faury did not specify the geopolitical events in the memo, but it was distributed last week against a backdrop of ongoing disagreements between Washington and its allies over the issue of Greenland and NATO's role. Airbus is a major defense supplier in Europe. Faury stated that the multiple trade pressures have already caused "significant secondary damage in logistics and finance."
