Mark Carney<\/a> to respond to his US counterpart\u2019s new trade levies targeting the country.<\/p>\nTrump did not specify whether he was imposing any kind of ban on the aircraft or set a new tariff on their import. But he has threatened to target them before, previously alleging Canada blocked certification of US-made Gulfstream jets.<\/p>\n

A Trump administration move against Bombardier could have consequences for American manufacturers that make up its supply chain.<\/p>\n

Bombardier said on Monday that it\u2019s a major contributor to the US aerospace sector, with employees in more than 20 states, including Texas, Arizona and Florida. The wings for its fastest business jet are made in Red Oak, Texas, while flight control components are manufactured in the Los Angeles area.<\/p>\n
The company noted that it\u2019s set to inaugurate a new facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cBombardier aircraft create tens of thousands of US jobs through the company\u2019s growing American footprint as well as within its supply chain made up of approximately 2,800 American companies across 47 states. The company spends over $2.5 billion with suppliers each year,\u201d the company said in an emailed statement that did not mention Trump by name.<\/p>\n
Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas, where Bombardier operates its US headquarters, said he reached out to the Trump administration to make sure the president is aware of the company\u2019s contributions and importance to the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presence of Bombardier in Wichita supports a local workforce of more than a thousand employees, who contribute their talent and expertise to our nation\u2019s defense and aerospace capabilities,\u201d Moran said in a post on X. \u201cI will continue working to see that Bombardier\u2019s manufacturing operations not only remain in Kansas but continue to grow and create American jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump administration officials have suggested the US could retaliate with its own measures in response to Carney\u2019s counter-tariffs, and a possible new auto tariff has been floated.<\/p>\n
Carney\u2019s government is poised on Tuesday to hike import taxes on many US steel goods to 50 percent from 25 percent while slapping import fees on a range of consumer items, barring a last-minute reprieve.<\/p>\n
The tit-for-tat trade actions follow the collapse of a potential trade deal between the two North American nations. US and Canadian negotiators had sought for weeks to reach a deal to lower trade tensions and avert a new round of US tariffs, even appearing to agree on the broad terms before it fell apart last month. That set the stage for US tariffs of 50 percent on about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods that took effect on Aug 22. Canadian officials announced the details of their counter-tariffs three days later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The cockpit of a Bombardier Inc Global 7500 business jet on display during the Singapore Airshow in Singapore,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":199794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[50256,17,162,62628,111,56597,62626,62627],"class_list":["post-199793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-bombardier-inc","tag-canada","tag-donald-trump","tag-jerry-moran","tag-mark-carney","tag-us-canada-trade-conflict","tag-us-tariffs-on-canadian-exports","tag-us-canada-conflict"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=199793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/199793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/199794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=199793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=199793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=199793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
