US 220% tariff on Bombardier is ‘attack’ on Canada, Quebec premier says

Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister,  wants Bombardier Inc’s ‘superlative’ CSeries jet to be a national ‘success story’

 

The 220 percent tariff imposed by the United States on Bombardier Inc’s CSeries jet is an “attack” on Quebec and Canada, the province’s Premier Philippe Couillard said on Wednesday.

The 220 percent tariff imposed by the United States on Bombardier Inc’s CSeries jet is an “attack” on Quebec and Canada, the province’s Premier Philippe Couillard said on Wednesday.

The government of Quebec has taken a $1 billion stake in Bombardier’s CSeries jet. But Couillard said Wednesday the company had received “not a cent” in government subsidies.

The U.S. Commerce Department on Tuesday slapped preliminary anti-subsidy duties on Bombardier’s CSeries jets after rival Boeing Co-accused Canada of unfairly subsidizing the aircraft, a move likely to strain trade relations between the neighbors.
