President Trump has warned Bombardier that it must relocate manufacturing to the US to continue selling its aircraft in the country. This statement comes as trade relations between the US and Canada deteriorate, with Canada poised to impose retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Bombardier, a major Canadian employer, operates a factory in Kansas and contributes significantly to Canada's economy.

Quebec's Premier Christine Fréchette expressed support for Bombardier, emphasizing the company's importance to the province. The ongoing trade conflict has escalated since negotiations between the two nations broke down last month, leading to increased tariffs and heightened tensions.
