Summary · why it matters

President Donald Trump said Monday that Canada's Bombardier Inc. should no longer be allowed to sell its aircraft in the United States, accusing Canada of blocking American companies while the jet maker profits from U.S. buyers. In a Truth Social post, Trump declared "NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES," noting that more than half of Bombardier's revenue comes from American buyers, companies, airports, and service, and that the company has used the U.S. market as a "piggybank" while Canada blocks firms like General Dynamics Corp-backed Gulfstream Aerospace. "That Era is OVER!" he added. "If they want our Market, they must build here." The White House did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment on enforcement, and the dispute comes as Canada's retaliatory tariffs on roughly $20 billion of U.S. goods took effect Tuesday. Bombardier countered that its operations support tens of thousands of U.S. jobs across more than 20 states, with a supply chain of about 2,800 American companies and over $2.5 billion in annual supplier spending, and Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas said he contacted the administration to stress Bombardier's importance to Wichita, where more than a thousand employees work. For the second quarter of 2026, Bombardier's revenues grew 6% year-over-year to $2.15 billion, and shares closed 3.39% higher on Friday at $228.
