What Happened

Trade Dispute Escalates Between US and Canada

President Donald Trump has threatened to block Bombardier Inc. from selling its jets in the United States, escalating a trade dispute with Canada. The threat comes as Canada prepares to impose tariffs on hundreds of US products, a response to new US trade levies. Bombardier has over 2,800 US-based suppliers across 47 states, and more than half of the costs for its Global 7500 jet are tied to US manufacturing. The situation was first reported by an unknown source.
