President Donald Trump has warned Canadian aircraft company Bombardier that it can no longer sell in the US unless it moves its manufacturing there.

"NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!" Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday. "If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a 'piggybank'."

The move came amid an escalating trade war between the two neighbours, and hours before Canadian retaliatory tariffs were imposed on $20bn (£14.7bn) of US goods.

In a statement, Bombardier said it employed thousands of American workers and that it valued its partnerships with US companies.
