Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas said he made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump's administration after the president threatened to ban Canada’s Bombardier from selling aircraft in the United States unless they manufacture them on U.S. soil. Moran said on X on Monday that he had reached out to the Trump administration to “make certain the President is aware of the significant contributions of Bombardier to Kansas and the importance of its presence in Wichita to many Kansas workers at Bombardier and in the Bombardier supply chain.” Moran added: “I will continue working to see that Bombardier’s manufacturing operations not only remain in Kansas but continue to grow and create American jobs. Kansas is home to a hardworking, skilled workforce, and I will continue welcoming leaders in aircraft and defense manufacturing to do business here in the Air Capital of the World.” Trump’s threat came hours before Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on about $20 billion worth of U.S. goods took effect on Tuesday.
Trump levied 50 percent tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods and has repeatedly attacked Canada since Canada-U.S. trade talks collapsed in August. Their products aren’t good enough!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday.
