Larry Culp: 我一直积极倡导恢复到1979年民用航空协议后的免关税贸易状态,因为那对美国航空航天业有积极作用,并帮助美国获得了巨大的贸易顺差。但现实是,由于现有关税政策,我们面临大约5亿美元的额外成本挑战。为了应对这些挑战,我们采取了一系列措施,包括优化供应链、利用退税选择以及其他成本控制手段。当然,我们也会将部分增加的成本转嫁给客户,以确保我们的业务能够持续健康地发展。我们与航空公司客户和飞机制造商紧密合作,确保整个行业能够团结一致,共同应对这一挑战。我们也在积极采取行动,尽可能地减轻关税带来的负面影响。我们正全力倡导通过双边协议恢复到类似1979年协议的状态,并密切关注谈判的进展,特别是在7月8日这个关键日期前。我们希望通过积极的倡导和有效的缓解措施,确保公司能够在这个充满挑战的环境中继续保持竞争力。 Larry Culp: 美元贬值对我们的业务影响不大,因为我们与客户和供应商之间的交易主要以美元结算。虽然我们对此保持关注,但这并不是一个重要的影响因素。我们目前面临的挑战更多来自于发动机领域,但这也是一个积极的挑战,因为空客和波音的飞机订单已经全部售罄。我们很幸运在窄体机和宽体机市场都占据领先地位,因此我们必须在运营上做出更多努力,深入到供应链中,帮助供应商识别并解决瓶颈问题,从而满足空客、波音以及其他航空公司的需求。我们必须认识到并接受现实,积极应对我们所处的环境。令人鼓舞的是,我们看到4月和5月主要供应商的收入比第一季度有了显著增长,这表明我们所采取的措施正在取得成效。我们将继续努力,保持并加强这些成果。
