Trump drops threats against Bombardier - here's why

President Donald Trump has backed away from threats to ban Bombardier from the U.S. market, instead saying he will “take good care” of the company’s workers in Kansas. The shift followed political backlash in September, when Trump raised the possibility of restricting Bombardier—an issue for Kansas lawmakers, including Sen. Roger Marshall, amid a tough re-election race. Trump made the comments in a Kansas TV interview and reiterated them at a speech Monday, saying he would help Bombardier because its presence in Kansas means U.S. jobs are at stake. Bombardier shares rose about 4% Tuesday.
