Trump threatens to block Canada’s Bombardier sales unless planes made in US
President Donald Trump has threatened to block Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier from selling its jets in the United States unless the company builds its planes domestically.

Trump Threatens Bombardier Sales As Trade Friction Mounts

Trump threatens to block Bombardier jet sales unless production moves to US
President Donald Trump has threatened to ban the sale of Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier's jets in the United States unless the company manufactures planes within the US. Trump accused Canada of "unjust and unfair" trade practices and told the aerospace giant to stop treating America like a "piggybank." The threat comes as trade tensions escalate on the eve of retaliatory tariffs from Canada. While Trump demands local production, Bombardier has highlighted its existing US manufacturing footprint and headquarters in Kansas.
