KEY POINTS
- President Trump threatened to ban Bombardier sales in the US or force production relocation.
- Canada enacted retaliatory tariffs on US goods.
- Trump criticized Canadian restrictions on American companies like Gulfstream Aerospace.
US President Donald Trump escalated a trade conflict with Canada by threatening to prohibit sales of Bombardier aircraft in the United States unless the company relocates production. The warning followed actions involving regulatory certifications and the operations of American companies in Canada.
Trump stated on social media that over half of Bombardier's revenues originate from the US and criticized Canada for allegedly blocking American banks and firms, including Gulfstream Aerospace. He declared that products must be built locally if the company wishes to access the American market.
“If they want our market, they must build here and stop treating America like a piggy bank.”
Meanwhile, Canada put retaliatory tariffs into effect on US goods. According to Gândul, these measures target merchandise valued at approximately 20 billion dollars, affecting sectors such as steel, electronics, and paper as reported by Der Spiegel.
Bombardier did not immediately respond to the initial comments, though the Canadian firm previously faced threats regarding its business jet certifications. The latest escalation highlights ongoing economic friction between Washington and Ottawa.
