'No more selling Bombardier': Trump threatens to stop sale of Canadian jets in US
Trump has threatened to block Bombardier jets from being sold in the US as trade tensions with Canada escalate. Ottawa is set to impose 15%-50% tariffs on hundreds of US products in retaliation for Washington’s levies.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to halt the sale of Bombardier Inc. jets in the United States, escalating a trade dispute with Canada. In a social media post, Trump criticized the Canadian aircraft maker, claiming that over half of its revenue comes from American buyers. He argued that Bombardier products are not good enough and live off American customers, companies, airports, and services.
The President threatened to stop Bombardier jets from being sold in the US, warning of negative impacts on American companies and jobs linked to the aircraft maker's supply chain. Canada has retaliated with tariffs, and the escalating trade tensions could lead to further measures from both countries. Bombardier employs thousands of US workers and spends heavily on American suppliers, making the company's fate crucial for the US economy.
