US President Threatens Canadian Manufacturer Over US Sales
US President Donald Trump has targeted Bombardier Aerospace in a social media post, stating that the Canadian manufacturer should not be allowed to sell aircraft in the US unless they are built in the country. Bombardier responded by highlighting its existing US operations and employment of over 1,200 workers in Wichita, Kansas. The company also noted that it spends $2.5 billion with US suppliers annually. This development comes as the US and Canada are embroiled in a trade war, with Trump’s comments potentially affecting Bombardier’s defence contracts with the US. The situation was first reported by ch-aviation.
