Trump says Canada's Bombardier cannot sell in US unless it builds there - Reuters

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Canada’s aerospace manufacturer Bombardier will be barred from selling its products in the United States unless the company establishes a manufacturing presence on American soil. The comment was made during a public remarks session in Washington.

Trump said, “If they want our market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank’.” He framed the requirement as a condition for continued access to the U.S. market for Bombardier’s aircraft and related equipment.

The announcement was delivered on the eve of a set of Canadian retaliatory tariffs that are scheduled to take effect on Tuesday. Those tariffs target approximately $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, marking a response to earlier American trade measures.

Canada’s tariff plan includes duties on a range of American products, though specific categories have not been detailed in the statements released. The measures are intended to counteract trade actions taken by the United States in recent months.

Trump’s statement adds a new dimension to the ongoing trade dispute between the two countries, linking market access for a specific foreign manufacturer to broader concerns about trade balance and domestic investment.
