Trump to Canadian plane maker Bombardier: You can't sell in U.S. unless you build in U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to ban Canadian manufacturer Bombardier from selling products in the U.S. unless the company increases its domestic manufacturing footprint. This move occurs amidst broader trade tensions and the implementation of retaliatory tariffs between the two nations.
Why it matters
The threat highlights escalating trade protectionism and its potential impact on cross-border industrial relations between the U.S. and Canada.
"NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough!" Trump said in Truth Social post.
"If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a 'piggybank.'"
Trump's post, which comes amid a growing trade dispute between Washington and Ottawa, was the latest salvo in his campaign to pressure foreign and domestic companies to manufacture more products in the U.S.
No talks scheduled as Canada's counter-tariffs against U.S. set to take effect at 12:01 a.m.
That objective has driven many economic policies in his second term, especially a near global tariff wall that has drawn complaints from many U.S. trading partners.
Canada is set to introduce a wave of counter-tariffs against the United States early Tuesday.
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said on social media on Monday that she won't respond to Trump's provocations with more provocations.
