A whole gamut of products really.
I mean we're looking at American milk, perfume, video games, machine goods, washing machines, fridges, jackets, t shirts, all sorts of things.
But the way that the Canadians have done their retaliation is it's in a sense it's deliberately unprovocative.
It's retaliation, but it's proportional retaliation.
So as they say, they're going dollar for dollar, rate for dollar.
rate with the tariffs on twenty billion dollars worth of Canadian exports that uh the White House imposed tariffs on a couple of weeks ago.
So at the moment you have the standoff, which is the latest salvo in an ongoing trade war that's been going on for about eighteen months.
There were negotiations, as you say, through the summer, which were designed to put an end to all of that.
Those negotiations were coming close to an end.
It was thought that a deal would be reached, and at the last moment they broke down.
And what we have now is retaliation and an escalation of rhetoric that seems to show no sign of ending.
Well, you have to ask whether the Americans will actually impose tariffs or any other sort of sanctions on Bombardier.
Um Bombardier is not the company it once was that used to build uh regional jets and even at one point was trying to take on the likes of Boeing and Airbus with its C Series aircraft.
It's smaller than that now.
It predominantly makes regional and business jets and also um some military hardware.
Now
It doesn't make the planes in America, but it does make a lot of components there and a lot of US jobs do actually rely on Bombardier.
So whether it would be in the US interest to sanction Bombardier is very much open to question.
Yeah, I mean Canada does seventy percent of its trade with the United States.
That trade is worth about four hundred and eleven billion US dollars.
