"No additional Bombardier sales in the United States! Their offerings are insufficient!" Trump posted on Truth Social.

The president stated that over half of the company's earnings are derived from the United States. "If they desire our market, they need to establish operations here and quit treating America as a cash cow," Trump stated.

The Financial Times reports that Bombardier has over 3,000 employees in the United States across nine locations. Purchasing is performed from 2,800 suppliers based in the United States. Approximately 50% of the 5,100 planes used by Bombardier's clientele are located in the United States, as reported by Reuters.

On August 22, Washington enacted 50% tariffs on certain Canadian imports, such as beer and cheese. Canada imposed tariffs between 15% and 50% on American products totaling $27.6 billion. The parties were unable to find a compromise and finalize a trade agreement after weeks of discussions.
