Trump Threatens to Bar Canadian Bombardier Jets from US Market
President accuses Canada of unfair trade practices, demands Bombardier build aircraft in the US, as bilateral trade tensions escalate ahead of Canadian retaliatory tariffs.
US President Donald Trump threatened on Monday to block sales of Canadian planemaker Bombardier in the United States unless the company builds aircraft domestically, according to France 24.
Trump accused Canada of "unjust and unfair" trade practices, the report said, but did not explain how such a ban would be implemented or enforced.
The threat comes on the eve of Canadian retaliatory tariffs, further escalating trade tensions between the two countries, according to the report.
France 24 did not report a response from Bombardier or the Canadian government at the time of publication.
