Kansas Republicans throw weight behind Bombardier jobs after Trump threat

Kansas Republicans throw weight behind Bombardier jobs after Trump threat

U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to ban Bombardier jets from the United States has sparked a response from Republicans in Kansas, where the company employs around 1,500 workers. Senator Roger Marshall, who is running for re-election, has vowed to protect these jobs and has already communicated with the White House about the concern.

Senator Jerry Moran, who is not up for re-election this year, also reached out to the Trump administration to ensure the president is aware of Bombardier's significant contributions to Kansas. The threat could escalate an ongoing trade war between the U.S. and Canada, which is becoming a key issue ahead of the November midterms.
