Trump says Canada’s Bombardier cannot sell in US unless it builds there
President Donald Trump said on Sept 7 that Bombardier, a Canada-based airplane maker, would no longer be allowed to sell in the United States unless it started manufacturing in the country. Trump's post on Truth Social came amid a trade dispute between Washington and Ottawa, with Canada set to introduce counter tariffs on Sept 8. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on enforcement, and US aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia doubted that business jet customers would cancel orders.
Why it matters: This reflects the theme of trade policy and tariffs, as Trump's threat targets a major Canadian manufacturer amid a broader tariff war.
