Trump threatens Canadian jetmaker Bombardier, which has an extensive US footprint

President Donald Trump has threatened to ban the sale of aircraft from the Canadian company Bombardier unless the jetmaker begins manufacturing planes within the United States. This move follows the collapse of Canada-U.S. trade talks on August 21. Since that event, the president and his administration have implemented various tariffs and threats, while utilizing personal attacks to portray Canada as a weak and dependent nation, despite Bombardier maintaining an extensive operational footprint across the US.
