President Donald Trump said Monday that Bombardier, the Canadian business-jet maker, should no longer be permitted to sell aircraft in the United States unless it builds them there, according to a Truth Social post. He also criticized the quality of the company’s products. The statement is the latest move in a widening U.S.-Canada trade dispute and reflects Trump’s push to get manufacturers to locate production in America, which has shaped his tariff-heavy economic agenda. The White House did not explain how a sales ban would be enforced, and Bombardier did not immediately comment. Bombardier already operates a U.S. defense plant in Kansas, and roughly half of its customers’ 5,100-plane fleet is American. Earlier this year Trump threatened to decertify Bombardier’s Global Express jets and impose 50 percent tariffs; neither took effect, though Canada later approved Gulfstream planes.
