The U.S. Commerce Department has hit Canadian jet maker Bombardier with a 219% tariff on every CSeries airplane sold to a U.S. airline

Citing:

  • Bombardier's CSeries sale to Delta Air Lines last year was supported by subsidies from the governments of Canada and the U.K.
  • "The U.S. values its relationships with Canada, but even our closest allies must play by the rules," said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in a statement. "The subsidization of goods by foreign governments is something that the Trump Administration takes very seriously, and we will continue to evaluate and verify the accuracy of this preliminary determination."
