Trade Minister LeBlanc reacts to Trump’s comments on Bombardier and the importance of protecting the aerospace sector. OTTAWA – U. S. President Donald Trump appears to be 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, Trump 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!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sept. 7. “If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a ‘piggybank.’”Trump Truth Social Bombardier U.

He repeated the sentiment on stage at a rally later in the day.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) A lawsuit challenging U. S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs targeting Canada has been filed in the United States Court of International Trade. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by the non-profit Liberty Justice Center on behalf of U. S. food importer Gellert Global Group, argues Trump’s use of a Depression-era trade statute exceeds his power as president. Trump used Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to slap an array of Canadian goods with a 50 per cent levy after trade talks broke down in August. The same statute was used the following month to ban the import of other Canadian goods, including motorcycles and some alcohol and dairy products. Liberty Justice Center CEO Sara Albrecht says in a news release that no president should have the power to pull a dormant statute off the shelf and use it to impose sweeping tariffs or import bans. The lawsuit asks the court to declare the tariffs unlawful and order a refund. Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press
