BRUSSELS (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday moved to end a long-running dispute with the European Union over airline subsidies, a major breakthrough in the U.S.-EU relationship that comes on the eve of his highly anticipated meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The announcement that the two sides reached resolution in a 17-year dispute over how much of a government subsidy each can provide for its aircraft manufacturing giant — Boeing in the United States and Airbus in the EU.—came as Biden met with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
