Trump says Bombardier to invest US$270mil in the US
The US president dropped threats to ban the Canadian jet maker after they became a political issue in Kansas, where it employs 1,500 people.
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Bombardier, the Canadian jet maker, would be investing US$270 million in the United States. This investment, which would create thousands of jobs in Kansas, Texas, and Indiana, came after Trump dropped threats to ban Bombardier aircraft from the country. The Canadian company had previously announced a US$50 million investment in Wichita last week, but did not comment on the details of Trump's latest announcement.
Trump had previously threatened to decertify Bombardier aircraft in February over a certification dispute involving Gulfstream Aerospace, but Transport Canada ultimately approved the jets.
