Trump threatens to block Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier's US sales unless it builds locally
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump threatened Monday to block US sales of Canadian plane maker Bombardier unless it builds aircrafts in the country, complaining of “unjust and unfair” bilateral trade provisions as he escalates a tariff war.
President Donald Trump has threatened to block sales of Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier in the United States unless the company builds its aircraft locally, complaining about unfair trade provisions. This comes on the heels of a previous threat to decertify Bombardier planes in the US and impose a 50 percent tariff on Canadian aircraft.
Bombardier models continue to be certified in the US and the company is currently exempt from US tariffs. The threat signals continued acrimony over Bombardier amid a bilateral tariff dispute, with Canada responding by imposing retaliatory tariffs on a range of US goods starting Tuesday.
