President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to demand an end to Bombardier aircraft sales in the United States, pointing to trade imbalances and restrictions on American companies.
In his post, Trump argued that the Canadian plane manufacturer relies heavily on the U.S. market while Canada limits access for American businesses.
'NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren't good enough!' Trump wrote. 'Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A.'
Trump also claimed that Canada has kept U.S. jetmaker Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business there.
'They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER!' Trump added. 'If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a 'piggybank.''
He wrapped up the message with a push for domestic products and travel.
'BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.'
Neither Bombardier nor Canadian officials released a statement immediately following the post.
