US President Donald Trump has threatened to ban Montreal-based manufacturer Bombardier from selling its aircraft in the United States unless production moves there. On September 7, 2026, Trump wrote on social media that the company's products "aren't good enough" and must be built locally to access the US market. No executive order or regulatory action accompanied the post.
In response, Bombardier highlighted its existing US operations in a statement on September 7, 2026. The manufacturer noted that wings for its Global 8000 are built in Red Oak, Texas, and flight controls are produced in the Los Angeles area. Bombardier added that it works with 2,800 US suppliers across 47 states, spending over $2.5 billion annually.
