ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe President told Bombardier to move production to the U.S.
Very impressive Supplier List, like the Suppliers, love Kansas! I'm asking the WHOLE AIRPLANE, show me a Wing and say America First, want the REST too! I've had beautiful Planes, need BOTH Wings (important!), Tail also..... very strong Instincts, not nearly enough Recognition from the Aviation People.
Bombardier says it already uses about 2,800 American suppliers.
More than a thousand employees in Kansas would like to be counted.
Build MORE here!
Trade is not using those numbers in the presentation.
I know Jets, had a very good one for a long time. Tremendous Airplane Knowledge!
The Kansas delegation returned the Bombardier workforce to the decision memo.
Kansas is IN. The ban is OUT!
Bombardier's threatened U.S. market ban never took effect.
I didn't reverse, I located the Workers. We are taking good care of them, incredible locating by your President!
The company has announced a $50 million Wichita investment and a new Indiana facility.
Fifty Million in Wichita, that's a Plane Company behaving very nicely. Canada should send the Thank You, Kansas can keep the Jobs.
Next time put the Employment Map FIRST..... I should not have to discover America after the Threat, although it was a very effective discovery.
PUBLIC RECORD
Trump threatened to bar Bombardier aircraft from the U.S. market unless the Canadian company moved production south. Bombardier says it works with about 2,800 American suppliers and employs thousands in the United States. On October 20, Reuters reported that Trump dropped his threat to bar Bombardier from the U.S. market after Kansas lawmakers highlighted the company's U.S. jobs. Bombardier employs about 3,500 people in the United States, including roughly 1,500 in Wichita, and recently announced a $50 million Wichita investment. The threatened ban had not taken effect. Bombardier shares rose 4 percent after Trump's comments.
