Trump says Bombardier cannot sell in the U.S. without more U.S. manufacturing

U.S. President Donald Trump said Bombardier should not be allowed to sell aircraft in the United States unless the Canadian company expands manufacturing in the country. The comments were posted on Truth Social on Monday and came as trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa continued to rise. Trump said Bombardier's products were not good enough and argued that companies wanting access to the U.S. market should build there. The remarks appeared alongside broader pressure from his administration on foreign and domestic firms to shift more production to the United States. Bombardier responded by pointing to its existing U.S. operations, saying it already employs thousands of workers, works with American suppliers, and continues to invest in the country. Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette also defended the company, calling it an important part of the province's economy. Analysts quoted in the story said it was unclear how Trump could enforce a ban on Bombardier sales, especially given the company's existing U.S. footprint and FAAapproved jets.
