The Canadian aerospace manufacturer says its aircraft already include parts built in Texas and California as it responds to a threat from President Trump concerning aviation sales.

The Canadian aerospace manufacturer responded after President Trump said it must build aircraft in the United States to sell there, as new Canadian retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods were set to take effect.

President accuses Canada of unfair trade practices, demands Bombardier build aircraft in the US, as bilateral trade tensions escalate ahead of Canadian retaliatory tariffs.

Canada's tariffs of up to 50 percent on roughly $19.8 billion of US goods came into force Tuesday, deepening a trade dispute in which US President Donald Trump has threatened to bar sales of all Bombardier aircraft in the United States.
