President Donald Trump threatened Monday to bar Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier from selling jets in the United States unless the company moves production there. "NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a 'piggybank.'"
Bombardier responded in a statement by highlighting its existing presence across the country. According to its statement, the company employs workers directly in more than 20 states, with physical locations in Kansas, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Connecticut, Illinois, Delaware, California, Washington D.C., and New Jersey. Altogether, about 2,800 American businesses across 47 states are part of its supply chain, with Bombardier channeling more than $2.5 billion a year to those partners.
