Bombardier’s shares fall after President Donald Trump signals the United States may restrict or ban the sale of Bombardier aircraft. In the first session since Trump raised the prospect of a U.S. sales ban, the stock drops sharply, reflecting investors’ concern about potential access to the U.S. market.
According to the Globe and Mail, the shares are down about 7% in that first trading day. The New York Post similarly reports a steep decline at the start of trading, with the stock opening down roughly 6.4% in Toronto before partially recovering. The outlets both tie the move in the share price directly to Trump’s latest comments, though they differ mainly in the magnitude of the opening drop and how quickly the stock rebounds during the trading day.
