U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to ban<\/a> the sale of aircraft from Canada\u2019s Bombardier unless it manufactures planes in the United States. <\/p>\n

The maker of private jets in response pointed out that major components for its planes, from wings to engines, are produced in the U.S. and that its supply chain that relies heavily on U.S. companies. <\/p>\n

Since Canada-U.S. trade talks collapsed on Aug. 21<\/a>, Trump and his administration have unleashed a barrage of tariffs, threats and personal attacks portraying Canada as weak and dependent. Canada retaliated Tuesday with tariffs on about $20 billion worth of U.S. goods.<\/p>\n

\u201cNO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren\u2019t good enough!\u201d Trump said in a social media post<\/a> Monday. \u201cIf they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a \u2018piggybank.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Bombardier said in a statement that the American aerospace industry is a \u201cclear winner on trade and exports.\u201d It said it creates tens of thousands of jobs both directly and through its supply chain.<\/p>\n

Bombardier\u2019s supply chain includes about 2,800 U.S. companies in 47 states, it said. Among other things, wings for its business jets are made in Texas and flight control components are produced near Los Angeles. Honeywell, a major U.S. aerospace manufacturer, makes engines for Bombardier\u2019s Challenger jets in Phoenix, and Collins Aerospace makes avionics and communications equipment in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. <\/p>\n

\u201cBombardier values its great partnership with American companies and its U.S. employees. Our plan is to continue to invest in our people, our customers, and the communities in which we operate across the country,\u201d it said. <\/p>\n

Bombardier has significant operations in Kansas, where Republicans have held a solid grip on both U.S. Senate seats for a century. Trump won the state by about 16 percentage points in 2024. Both senators said they had contacted the White House to express concerns about the threat to the Canadian company and its potential impact on Kansas workers. <\/p>\n

\u201cI reached out to the Trump administration to make certain the President is aware of the significant contributions of Bombardier to Kansas and the importance of its presence in Wichita to many Kansas workers at Bombardier and in the Bombardier supply chain,\u201d Sen. Jerry Moran wrote in a social media post. <\/p>\n

Moran promised to continue working to ensure that the planemaker\u2019s manufacturing operations remain in Kansas.<\/p>\n

Sen. Roger Marshall voiced the same support in a social media post Tuesday, saying \u201cI\u2019m going to fight to keep Bombardier\u2019s over 1,200 Kansas jobs. I\u2019ve already taken that concern inside the Oval Office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that his government would buy six early-warning radar planes from Sweden\u2019s Saab and Bombardier, rather than from U.S. aircraft makers. The Saab planes use Bombardier\u2019s Global 6500 aircraft platform, supporting Canadian manufacturing. They have 20% U.S. content. The alternatives would have been U.S.-made E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft made by Boeing or the Aeris X, made by L3Harris. <\/p>\n

The Canadian government is reviewing plans to buy U.S. F-35 fighter jets. Saab has proposed making its Gripen fighter jet in Canada.<\/p>\n

Bombardier is one of Canada\u2019s oldest and most well-known manufacturers. The company was founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier, an inventor and entrepreneur from rural Quebec who started out making snowmobiles and other snow-going equipment in the 1930s. <\/p>\n

Over its long history, it entered and left the train-making business and expanded for a time into making regional and commercial aircraft. But it sold off those parts of its business as it restructured to focus on making private business jets. <\/p>\n

The company has also spun off parts of its business that made snowmobiles and other recreational equipment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to ban the sale of aircraft from Canada\u2019s Bombardier unless it manufactures…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1051270,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[6],"tags":[166,64,276,2147,18810,2738,2734,12785,7838,84,69,6064,723,57,166180,1819,1818,59,13790,421085,421086,19785,49612,18809,564,8006,401,80,227057,358,33946,25680,5028,67,132,68,93],"class_list":["post-1051269","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-aerospace-and-defense-industry","tag-business","tag-california","tag-canada","tag-canada-government","tag-connecticut","tag-ct-state-wire","tag-dc-wire","tag-diplomacy","tag-district-of-columbia","tag-donald-trump","tag-fl-state-wire","tag-florida","tag-general-news","tag-honeywell-international","tag-il-state-wire","tag-illinois","tag-inc","tag-international-trade","tag-jerry-moran","tag-joseph-armand-bombardier","tag-kansas","tag-ks-state-wire","tag-mark-carney","tag-maryland","tag-md-state-wire","tag-new-jersey","tag-politics","tag-roger-marshall","tag-texas","tag-the-boeing-co","tag-transportation-and-shipping","tag-tx-state-wire","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-washington-news"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051269","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1051269"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1051269\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1051270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1051269"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1051269"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1051269"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
