Donald Trump has raised the pressure on Canada ahead of its retaliatory tariffs, targeting one of the country’s best-known jet manufacturers. “Don’t sell Bombardier in the United States anymore,” the U.S. president wrote on Truth Social, adding that “their products are not good.”
Trump said more than half of Bombardier’s sales come from the United States. He also pointed to the company’s roughly 5,100 aircraft in operation, saying about half depend on the U.S. market.
Don’t sell Bombardier in the United States anymore.
If Canada wants access to the American market, Trump argued, Bombardier should build factories and produce its aircraft in the United States. He framed the demand as part of a broader dispute over what he described as unfair treatment of U.S. companies in Canada.
Trump cited Canada’s alleged decision to block Gulfstream’s entry for years. He also claimed that Canadian banks earn large profits by expanding into the United States while preventing American banks from entering Canada. The article’s excerpt ends as Trump turns to the Canadian dollar.
