Bombardier

Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft manufacturer, is currently facing significant pressure from the United States government, specifically related to trade and aircraft certification. The company is newsworthy due to threats from then-President Donald Trump to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian-made aircraft sold in the US. These threats also included the potential decertification of Bombardier's large-cabin planes. This situation arose amidst a broader trade dispute between the US and Canada. These threats were made in response to Canada's perceived delay in certifying Gulfstream jets, a US competitor. The US administration seemingly viewed the certification of Gulfstream aircraft as a prerequisite for easing trade tensions. The situation highlights the vulnerability of Bombardier to international trade disputes and the potential impact of political pressure on the aviation industry.
