After President Trump threatened to ban Bombardier jet sales, Wichita workers voiced concern, saying the move would strain American jobs.

Canada-based Bombardier says it will hire 500 American workers and open a Fort Wayne service centre, despite President Trump threatening to block the company’s US sales.

Bombardier says it already builds in the United States with American-made components and thousands of US workers, countering President Trump’s threat to block its US sales unless production occurs in the US, and highlights its broad US supplier network (47 states), plans for a Fort Wayne service center, and about $2.5 billion spent with suppliers, as its stock drops amid ongoing US–Canada trade tensions.
Bombardier’s shares fell after President Trump threatened to bar the Canadian aircraft maker from U.S. government contracts unless it expands U.S. production, as Canada retaliated with tariffs on American goods and the broader trade fight intensifies. Analysts warn of near-term uncertainty for Bombardier’s U.S. orders, while the company stresses its growing U.S. footprint and tens of thousands of jobs supported across multiple states.
After Canada imposed tariffs on about $20 billion of U.S. exports, President Trump threatened to remove Canadian products from U.S. government procurement programs, directing the GSA and USTR to act; the move intensifies a growing trade dispute that has included prior Bombardier warnings and followed a breakdown in talks, with Prime Minister Carney urging a mutually beneficial deal.
President Donald Trump told Canada’s Bombardier, via a Truth Social post, that it would be barred from selling in the United States unless it begins manufacturing there, as part of a broader US‑Canada trade dispute that has featured threats of 50% aircraft tariffs and reciprocal duties on a wide range of goods.
President Donald Trump urged banning Bombardier aircraft from selling in the United States amid a Canada-U.S. trade dispute, claiming the company’s products aren’t good. Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran pushed back, noting Bombardier’s jobs in Wichita, while Bombardier defended its U.S. investments and supply chain. Canada retaliated with tariffs, amplifying tensions ahead of the midterms.
President Donald Trump warned Bombardier it cannot sell jets in the United States unless the company moves production to the U.S., a demand tied to the expanding Canada–U.S. trade war as Canada prepares retaliatory tariffs. Bombardier says its U.S. operations support thousands of American jobs and will continue to invest in its American footprint amid the dispute.
President Trump warned Bombardier that it cannot sell planes in the United States unless they are manufactured in the U.S., escalating US–Canada trade tensions as tariffs loom on about $20 billion of goods and major buyers like NetJets could be affected.
President Trump said Bombardier can no longer sell in the United States unless it starts producing in the U.S., as the U.S.-Canada trade war heats up.

President Donald Trump said Bombardier cannot sell in the United States unless it begins manufacturing in the U.S., tying access to American markets to domestic production amid a broader U.S.-Canada trade dispute. Bombardier had not commented, and earlier threats included decertifying Gulfstream jets and potential 50% tariffs, though none were enacted and Canada later certified some Gulfstream aircraft.
Canada has selected Saab and Bombardier to supply a fleet of airborne early-warning radar aircraft, signaling a major upgrade to the country’s air-defense capabilities; the development was noted by Prime Minister Mark Carney during late May 2026 events in Ontario.
Trump threatened to decertify Canadian-made Bombardier aircraft in the US, a move critics say would politicize aviation safety and could disrupt flights if applied to new deliveries; the FAA would ultimately decide eligibility, while existing aircraft would not be affected. The feud also comes amid Canada’s own Gulfstream certification delays and broader concerns about how certification is handled in practice.
President Donald Trump said he would decertify all Canada-made aircraft and impose a 50% tariff on planes sold into the United States until Gulfstreams are certified in Canada, targeting Bombardier’s Global Express. The move hinges on certification processes and may exceed FAA authority, with potential widespread disruption to US air travel if Canadian-made jets are grounded. The story is developing and CNN has sought FAA comment.
