Trade disputes between the U.S. and Canada frequently target key manufacturing sectors like aerospace, directly impacting cross-border supply chains and jobs. A blockade on Bombardier aircraft would signal a significant hardening of protectionist policies, potentially triggering retaliatory measures and disrupting global aviation markets.
