Summary
Wichita-based Bombardier employees are pushing back against President Donald Trump’s threat to ban the Canadian jet maker’s U.S. sales, saying the move would hurt American workers at the company’s U.S. headquarters.
Three days after Trump’s post, one employee leaving the Wichita site said workers felt the president was turning his back on them, underscoring anxiety inside Bombardier’s Kansas operation.
The backlash centers on a policy threat aimed at a Canadian manufacturer but felt most immediately in Wichita, where U.S.-based employees fear the fallout would land on local jobs.
