   Bombardier seeks 500 US hires amid Trump sales ban threats

   Bombardier is recruiting 500 new workers in the United States despite threats from President Donald Trump to ban the sale of its aircraft in the US market. The Canadian jet maker currently employs 3,500 direct staff across several states. This expansion occurs as the company defends its domestic manufacturing presence during an escalating trade conflict between Canada and the US. While the executive branch pushes for restrictions, some GOP senators have offered support for the aerospace manufacturer.
