U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that Canada-based airplane maker Bombardier BBD-B-T would no longer be allowed to sell in the United States unless it started manufacturing in the country.
“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a piggybank,” he said.
Bombardier did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Canada and the United States have been locked in a trade dispute.
In January, Trump said the U.S. was decertifying Bombardier Global Express business jets and threatened 50-per-cent import tariffs on all aircraft made in Canada until the country’s regulator certified a number of planes produced by U.S. rival Gulfstream.
Neither occurred, but the following month Canada certified several Gulfstream planes.
