Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Threatens to Block Bombardier Jets From US Market
Caption: Trump Threatens to Block Bombardier Jets From US Market. President Donald Trump threatened to block Bombardier jets from US sales unless the company manufactures there. Trump warned Bombardier, demanding it build aircraft in America if it wants access to US markets. His threat comes as tensions rise, with Canada preparing tariffs targeting $20 billion of US goods. Bombardier says thousands of American workers support its operations, emphasizing partnerships with businesses across the country. The company operates a Kansas facility producing special mission military aircraft and employs 3,500 American workers. Bombardier also has facilities across several states, while American customers operate about half its 5,100 aircraft. The Canadian manufacturer builds jets in Canada, America, and Mexico, while complying with trade agreements. Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette defended Bombardier, calling it an economic flagship and refusing to answer provocation. Trade negotiations collapsed last month, followed by US tariffs, while Canadian officials called Trump's demands unfair.
