Sept 7 (Reuters) \u2013 President Donald Trump said on Monday that Canadian private jet maker Bombardier would no longer be allowed to sell its planes in the United States unless it started manufacturing in the\u00a0country.<\/p>\n
\u201cNO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE \u200bUNITED STATES! Their products aren\u2019t good enough!\u201d Trump said in a post on Truth Social.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf \u200cthey want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a \u2018piggybank\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s post comes amid a growing trade dispute between Washington and Ottawa, one of many economic policies in his second term, especially a near global tariff-wall, that have drawn complaints from many US trading partners.<\/p>\n
Canada is set to introduce a wave of counter tariffs against the \u200cUnited \u200bStates on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The White House did not immediately respond to a \u2060request for comment on how Trump \u2060would enforce the action or the steps he would take to bar deliveries of Bombardier jets which have been approved by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.<\/p>\n
The planemaker\u2019s jets also comply with the United States Mexico Canada (USMCA) trade deal that Trump helped implement.<\/p>\n
U.S. aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia said he did \u200bnot believe any business jet customers would cancel Bombardier orders and didn\u2019t see how Trump could stop them from being sold. Aboulafia pointed out that most Bombardier private jets use U.S. engines, which \u2060are produced by both Honeywell Aerospace and GE Aerospace.<\/p>\n
Aerospace has largely \u2060emerged unscathed from Trump\u2019s tariff war with the flow of parts and planes \u200bnot currently impacted by duties. According to U.S. trade group Aerospace Industries Association, the country\u2019s aerospace and defense \u200bsector has a $109.2 billion trade surplus, with exports up 25% on an annual basis \u200cin 2025.<\/p>\n
Like the U.S. auto sector, which depends on parts production by its northern neighbor, aerospace is highly integrated on a global scale.<\/p>\n
Bombardier, the Montreal-based rival of U.S. business jet manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace , has an American workforce of 3,500, and a U.S. footprint of 2,800 suppliers, along with factories and service centers in \u2060the country. The company is now adding its sixth U.S. service center and produces wings for its flagship Global 8000 jet in Texas.<\/p>\n
Bombardier also has a defense division with a US-based factory in Kansas where \u2060it prepares Canadian-manufactured planes for special \u200cmission purposes. About half of the fleet of 5,100 aircraft operated by Bombardier \u2060customers are located in the US.<\/p>\n
The company did not immediately respond to \u200brequests for \u200ccomment.<\/p>\n
In January, Trump said the U.S. was decertifying Bombardier Global Express business \u200bjets and \u2060threatened 50% import tariffs on all aircraft made in Canada until the country\u2019s regulator certified a number of planes produced by Gulfstream. Neither occurred, but the next month Canada certified several Gulfstream planes.<\/p>\n
In July, Bombardier reported that its quarterly revenue grew 6% compared with the same three months a year ago to $2.15 billion, helped by strong demand for aftermarket services.<\/p>\n
