Kansas Republicans buck Trump over threat to ban Canadian jets
President Donald Trump issued a warning to perhaps block a Canadian aerospace company, Bombardier, from selling aircraft in the United States, referencing an escalating trade dispute and a possible ban on the company’s business jets. This threat, communicated via provocative posts on Truth Social on Labor Day, caused concern among Kansas Republicans, especially as Bombardier’s U.S. headquarters is located in Wichita, employing over 1,400 workers. Kansas GOP lawmakers responded by contacting the White House to protest any measures that could harm the company’s operations or employment.
