Newswire From a news agency Ongoing story
  • Donald Trump threatened to stop Bombardier from selling aircraft in the United States, but did not explain how he would impose such a ban.
  • The threat follows an earlier warning to decertify Bombardier planes and impose a 50% tariff on Canadian aircraft, which apparently never took effect.
  • The move comes amid an escalating tariff dispute, with US tariffs on about $20 billion in Canadian goods and Canadian retaliatory duties set to begin Tuesday.

Donald Trump has threatened to halt Bombardier aircraft sales in the United States, escalating a trade dispute with Canada and targeting a manufacturer whose planes operate across US domestic airline fleets.

“No more selling Bombardier in the United States!” Trump wrote in capital letters on Truth Social. He accused Canada of “completely unjust and unfair” trade practices but did not specify how he would stop the sales. “If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank,’” he wrote.

No more selling Bombardier in the United States!

· Donald TrumpTrump posted the threat on Truth Social without specifying how he would halt Bombardier sales.

Trump also accused Canada of blocking “our GREAT American Banks, and Companies” from doing business there, adding: “That Era is OVER!”

If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank.’

· Donald TrumpHe demanded that Bombardier build in the United States and accused Canada of exploiting the American market.

The post marked the second major potential move against Bombardier from Trump this year. In January, he threatened to decertify Bombardier aircraft in the United States and impose a 50% tariff on Canadian planes. Trump said at the time that Canada had refused to certify new models of US-made Gulfstream jets. That threatened action apparently never took effect.

The latest warning came as a broader tariff fight intensified. After trade negotiations collapsed last month, Trump imposed 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian products, including hockey sticks and cement. Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on a similar value of US goods, starting early Tuesday. The Canadian duties, ranging from 15% to 50%, cover US steel and aluminum products and dairy goods such as cheese.
