:yikes:
Just some corrections to things mentioned or implied.
The tariff is on the the C series aircraft only.
BRP and Bombardier are not the same company. Bombardier sold them off in 2003.
The engines on the C series airplane are made in the US. Made by Pratt & Whitney a division of United Technologies Corporation. Bombardier does not make any aircraft engines.
A little over 50% of the C Series aircraft parts are made in the US.
The aircraft is not made in Ireland. The wings are made there.
