Tariffs Abandons Stupid Threat against Bombardier

WICHITA - U.S. President Donald Tariffs is backing away from his threat to shut Canadian aerospace giant Bombardier out of the U.S. market, after learning about the company's significant operations in Kansas.

In September, Tariffs threatened to block sales of Bombardier jets in the United States amid a growing trade dispute with Canada. "NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren't good enough!" He wrote in a Truth Social post. "If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a piggybank."

But while visiting Kansas this week, Tariffs struck a dramatically different tone after learning about Bombardier's operations in Wichita, where the company employs about 1,500 people. "We're going to take care of Bombardier", Tariffs a rally. "I'm going to be helping a certain air company get themselves straightened away.. I'll be helping them because I always viewed them as a Canadian company. But now I find out they have a presence here, and we're not hurting them if they're in Kansas. So, we'll take care of those people and the jobs."

Dominic LeBlanc, the federal minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, has argued for months that Bombardier is deeply embedded in the American economy. "Bombardier has many hundreds and thousands of employees in the United States and has had for a long time. I had seen a number of legislators in the United States, including Republicans, express concerns this summer when President Trump had made those comments about Bombardier", said Leblanc.
