Trump says Canada's Bombardier cannot sell in US unless it builds there
Trump said Bombardier can keep selling in the United States only if it starts building aircraft there, escalating the trade fight as Canada readies $20 billion in tariffs.
- 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.
