Donald Trump has warned that Bombardier cannot sell aircraft in the United States unless the Canadian business jet maker builds them in the country. The threat, posted on Truth Social on Monday, targets one of the most important markets for Bombardier’s business aviation sales and comes as trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa continue to escalate.
The move focuses on Bombardier’s access to the U.S. market rather than a named aircraft programme, but it could affect sales of the company’s business jets and other aircraft in the country if enforced. Trump linked the measure to what he described as unfair trade conditions and framed it as a demand for local manufacturing.
Bombardier did not immediately respond in the coverage cited. No formal U.S. restriction or operational change was confirmed, and the practical method for enforcing the threat was not specified.
