As the G7 summit meets in Brussels, world leaders have agreed to put a 17-year trade feud over subsidies to aircraft manufacturers behind them, suspending almost $12 billion of tariffs.

The conflict centers around subsidies to the U.S.-backed Boeing and the European Union-backed Airbus, but now both sides are putting aside the feud to focus on the threat of China's own aircraft manufacturing.

Host Robin Young speaks with Here & Now's transportation analyst Seth Kaplan about the agreement.
