‘Build In America Or Don’t Sell Here’: Donald Trump Sends Strong Message To Canada’s Bombardier

Washington: US President Donald Trump has taken a tough stance towards Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier. Trump has given a clear message to the company saying that if it has to sell its planes in the American market, it will have to produce them in America itself. The US President has also raised questions on the quality of Bombardier's aircraft.

What message did Trump give to Bombardier?

Trump expressed his views regarding Bombardier through a post on social media platform X on Monday. He said that the company's plan to sell aircraft in America is not good. According to Trump, if Bombardier wants to do business in the American market, it will have to start production in America itself.

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American… pic.twitter.com/oIZZUbMkDx

Trump also accused foreign companies of making America only a source of income. He says that foreign companies doing business in the American market should promote production in America.

What is the controversy related to women employees?

This statement of Trump has come at a time when tension regarding trade has increased between America and Canada. The US administration has been pressuring foreign companies for a long time to increase production in America.

This policy has been very important in Trump's second term. His government has imposed heavy tariffs on goods coming from many countries, which has strained relations with many of America's trading partners.

How much business does Bombardier have in the US?

Bombardier is one of the leading aircraft manufacturing companies in Canada and already has a presence in the US. The company's defence division has a factory in the US, located in the state of Kansas. Here planes are prepared for special missions.

About half of the company's approximately 5,100 aircraft owned by customers operate in the US. In such a situation, the American market is very important for Bombardier. After Trump's new statement, the pressure on the company to increase its manufacturing activities in America may increase.

Has Trump already warned Bombardier?

This is not the first time that Trump has taken a tough stance on Bombardier. Even in January, he had talked about action regarding the company's Global Express business jet. At that time Trump had threatened to impose import duty of up to 50 percent on Bombardier planes.

However, Canada's aircraft regulator later approved some of Bombardier's aircraft. After this, no further major steps were taken regarding the proposed action by Trump.

Which new factory did Bombardier buy in Canada?

Bombardier announced the purchase of a new factory in Canada on September 1. This factory was earlier owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Here the company will make wings for Global 5500 and Global 6500 private jets.

The company's business also remains strong. In July, Bombardier reported that its second-quarter revenue rose 6 percent to about 2.15 dollars billion compared with the same period last year. The company has benefited from strong demand for aircraft and aftermarket services.

Trump's latest comments come at a time when tensions over trade between the US and Canada remain constant. Now it remains to be seen what steps Bombardier takes regarding its production strategy in the American market.
