Trump says Canada's Bombardier cannot sell in US unless it builds there
Bombardier said it supports tens of thousands of U.S. jobs and 2,800 suppliers across 47 states as Trump escalates the trade fight.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that Canadian airplane maker Bombardier can no longer sell its aircraft in the United States unless it begins manufacturing within the country.
- This directive emerges amid a bitter trade war between the U.S. and Canada, with Trump recently imposing 50% tariffs after negotiations collapsed and Canada announcing about $20 billion in retaliatory duties on more than 700 U.S. goods.
- About half of the 5,100-aircraft fleet operated by Bombardier customers sits in the U.S., while the company reported $2.15 billion in quarterly revenue in July amid ongoing regulatory disputes.
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed Canada 'blew up' a trade deal 'for political reasons only,' while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his nation would resume talks 'when the Americans are ready.'
- The restriction aligns with Trump's broader campaign to pressure foreign companies into U.S.-based manufacturing, though the White House has not clarified how it will enforce this mandate against Bombardier.

SIC NotíciasBombardier responded, recalling that its aircraft "manage tens of thousands of jobs in the United States, thanks to the company's growing presence in the country, as well as its supply chain, consisting of about 2,800 American companies spread across 47 states."
Either the whole thing is fake, or they will become another victim of the US-Canada tariff war.
The trade dispute between the US and Canada continues to intensify. Trump is now openly threatening Bombardier, but today it is closely linked to the US economy.
