WASHINGTON—Senior officials from Boeing Co. and a U.S. aerospace trade group on May 15 urged the U.S. government to narrowly tailor any tariffs imposed on the European Union over illegal aircraft subsidies to avoid harming American manufacturers.

The comments were made in prepared testimony at a hearing held by the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office on proposed tariffs on EU goods related to the dispute.
