Trump threatens to block Canada’s Bombardier from selling aircraft in U.S. market

American President Donald Trump launched a new attack on the Canadian economy Monday.

Trump posted on social media that the Canadian airplane maker Bombardier will no longer be allowed to sell in the United States.

It’s the latest in a whole new round in the Canada-U.S. trade war, with new tariffs coming into effect Monday night.

Trump was unusually active on social media this weekend, wading into new attacks on Canada, other countries and even one of his own states, and now he’s threatening a major Canadian aerospace company that’s worth billions and employs tens of thousands of people worldwide.

In his official Trump Social media post from Monday afternoon, the president said, “NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough!”

He then said, “they live off American Buyers” while “Canada blocks” American companies, and went on further to say, “If they want our Market, they must build here,” in the United States.

This is one of a string of weekend posts from Trump, like his idea of a hockey game and knocking down Prime Minister Carney and calling him Governor.

His latest map of North America included Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Iceland, Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and other areas as part of the United States.

He also posted his recent attempt to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America, along with reshaping the map of Iran in the image of his head, apparently claiming the Moon for the U.S., and changing the name of the state of New Mexico to “New America.”

Some New Mexican leaders are saying it’s not up to Trump to rename their state, and Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to work out a trade deal to save jobs after walking away from talks with the U.S.

“When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough and start being serious about having those discussions,” said Carney. “We can have those discussions, but it’s just not constructive.”

The latest round in the trade war comes at midnight, when Canada retaliates against U.S. tariffs with new tariffs on $28 billion worth of American goods coming into Canada.

McMaster economist Colin Mang says Monday’s Canadian tariffs are mostly on one-time-purchase consumables from the U.S. and could lead to progress in the trade fight.

“The further it goes and faster it goes, the more likely negotiations will start up again fairly soon, because both sides realize that really high tariffs are economically damaging,” said Mang. “However, if further rounds of retaliation are fairly small, then this could go on for a very long time.”

“They’ve taken advantage of us for years, and it’s time to stop,” said Trump.

Trump is now attacking the Canadian dollar, which is worth about 72 cents compared to the U.S. dollar as of Monday.

“When the Canadian dollar is lower than the American dollar, it means that Americans can buy Canadian goods more cheaply because their dollar goes further,” said Mang.

On social media Trump said, “Canada’s Dollar imbalance with the U.S. is unacceptable,” but he didn’t say what he’s going to do about it.

Political commentator Keith Leslie says Trump will retaliate to the new tariffs and the prime minister has to respond to get negotiations going again.

“He stood up to the bully and he has to set the conditions, and reach out to Trump and get back to the table at some point,” said Leslie. “But I think we’re waiting for the Americans to ask us back to the table, we’ll be waiting a little too long.”

As it stands, there are no signs of any new talks between Canada and the U.S., with the midnight tariff deadline approaching.
