Primary voters in New Hampshire and Rhode Island are choosing candidates across federal, state and local contests over two days, as the US politics live blog tracks developments around the country.

Donald Trump said Bombardier, the Canadian private jet maker, would no longer be allowed to sell its planes in the United States unless it began manufacturing them there. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough!" He added, "If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ’piggybank.’"
