Bombardier commits to 500 US hires amid Trump trade threats
Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier announced plans to hire 500 new workers in the United States, including a new service center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, despite President Trump’s threat to ban its sales unless it builds more domestically. The move follows escalating US-Canada trade tensions, with Canada implementing $20 billion in retaliatory tariffs. Bombardier emphasized its existing US footprint, including 3,500 employees and $2.5 billion in supplier spending, while Republican lawmakers defended the company against the administration’s pressure.
