The US-Canada trade dispute is escalating following President Trump's calls for a boycott of Bombardier jets and threats to bar Canadian firms from US public procurement. These actions, confirmed by multiple sources, are in direct retaliation to Canada's recently implemented tariffs on US goods. The scope and implementation details of these US threats remain uncertain, but they signal a significant hardening of the US trade posture.
