U.S. President Trump’s latest trade move hits Quebec-made vehicles
Montreal - A Quebec-based recreational vehicle manufacturer, BRP, is among Canadian firms affected by the escalating Canada-U.S. trade war, as announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. BRP's Can-Am Spyder and Canyon three-wheel vehicles, produced in Valcourt, Quebec, will not be eligible for sale in the U.S. market starting September 29.
This restriction is a result of the new round of trade measures imposed by U.S. President Trump on Canadian goods. BRP anticipates the financial impact to be minimal, as most of their current-season production and shipments have already been finalized.
Meanwhile, other Quebec-based companies, such as Bombardier, are also grappling with the trade dispute. On Monday, Trump threatened to restrict Bombardier's aircraft sales in the U.S. unless the company manufactures them within the United States. Bombardier employs thousands of people across 20 locations in the U.S., and in 2003, it sold its recreational products division, which has since become the independent company BRP.
