Republican Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) of Kansas pushed back against President Donald Trump’s threat to bar Bombardier Inc. (OTC:BDRBF) jets from the U.S. market, saying the Canadian aircraft maker’s Wichita operations should "continue to grow and create American jobs."

"This afternoon, I reached out to the Trump administration to make certain the President is aware of the significant contributions of Bombardier to Kansas," Moran said in an X post on Monday. He said the company supports "more than a thousand employees" in Wichita and contributes to U.S. defense and aerospace capabilities.
Moran added that he would work to ensure Bombardier’s manufacturing operations "not only remain in Kansas but continue to grow and create American jobs." His intervention came as Trump intensified his trade confrontation with Canada and targeted the private-jet maker directly.
