Two of the sources said that in other capitals it was considered a &#8220;betrayal&#8221; of Airbus, which has 14,000 employees in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul Everitt, head of the British aerospace lobby group ADS, said Britain had acted unilaterally without reciprocal action from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dispute over subsidies is the biggest case ever handled by the World Trade Organization and comes to a head just as Britain is leaving the European Union, forcing it to seek new trade agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Tim Hepher, William James.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
