POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C., United States — President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Canadian aerospace giant Bombardier on Monday, threatening to block its aircraft from being sold in the United States unless production is moved to American soil.
The ultimatum marks a sharp escalation in cross-border trade friction, coming amid broader tensions over market access and industrial policy between the two nations.
Bombardier, headquartered in Montreal and one of Canada’s largest corporations, currently manufactures its jets outside the U.S., a setup Trump criticized as disadvantageous to American competitors.
The president claimed that Canada has been restricting sales of Gulfstream aircraft to shield Bombardier from competition, framing his proposed retaliation as a matter of reciprocal fairness.
In response, Trump declared that Bombardier’s access to the U.S. market hinges on relocating its manufacturing operations to the United States.

The move underscores a hardening stance in Trump’s trade strategy, leveraging market access as a tool to push foreign companies toward domestic production.
No formal regulatory action has yet been filed, but the statement sent shockwaves through North American aerospace and trade circles.
