> Bombardier rejected Donald Trump’s threat to block its aircraft sales in the United States unless it builds planes there, saying it already makes wings in Texas and flight-control components in California. The company employs 3,500 US workers, works with suppliers in 47 states and spends $2.5bn annually on suppliers, as US-Canada trade tensions escalate.
