00:00President Donald Trump is threatening to block a major Canadian aircraft maker from the U.S. market
00:06unless it moves production to America.
00:08The warning to Bombardier is the latest escalation in trade tensions between Washington and Ottawa
00:13as Canada's wide-ranging counter-tariffs on American goods take effect today.
00:20The aerospace industry is deeply integrated across North America,
00:24much like the automotive sector, with American manufacturers relying heavily on parts produced in Canada.
00:31Montreal-based Bombardier competes with U.S. jet maker Gulfstream
00:35and employs around 3,500 people in the United States.
00:39Trump has previously targeted Bombardier.
00:41In January, he threatened to decertify its global express jets
00:45and impose a 50% tariff on Canadian-made aircraft.
00:49He linked those measures to Canada's certification process for several Gulfstream aircraft made in the U.S.
