President Trump Demands Bombardier Build Aircraft in U.S. or Face Market Ban

President Trump has issued an ultimatum to Canadian aerospace manufacturer Bombardier, stating that the company must build its aircraft on American soil or be barred from selling to U.S. airlines and buyers. This declaration was made in a statement posted to Truth Social, where President Trump asserted that his administration would no longer permit foreign manufacturers to supply key transportation markets without establishing domestic production facilities. He argued that the era of foreign aerospace companies using the U.S. market as a 'piggybank' while keeping high-skilled manufacturing jobs abroad is over. President Trump specifically stated that if Bombardier wishes to sell its planes to U.S. airlines and customers, they must be built in the United States. Bombardier, a Montreal-based company, produces high-end business jets, including its Global and Challenger series, and its regional jets are a significant component of short-haul routes across North America, often operated by U.S. regional carriers.

Federal Judge Reopens Sentencing Hearing for Mobile 'Kingpin' Amid Asset Hiding Allegations

A federal judge has reopened the sentencing hearing for Glennie Antonio 'Little Man' McGee, 42, a convicted drug 'kingpin,' and his wife, Echandza Dianca Maxie, 43, in Mobile, Alabama. The reopening comes amidst accusations that the couple conspired to hide assets to evade forfeiture orders. Prosecutors allege McGee ran a large-scale drug distribution network, using children as couriers, a case that gained notoriety in 2024 when a 3-year-old was found with a backpack full of drugs during a raid. U.S. District Judge Terry Moorer had previously sentenced McGee and Maxie to life in prison for drug-and-gun conspiracy and a multi-million dollar financial fraud. Maxie was ordered to pay over $1.8 million in restitution and a $1 million fine, while McGee was fined $10 million and ordered to pay over $1 million in restitution. The U.S. Attorney’s Office now claims the couple attempted to fraudulently transfer assets post-sentencing, as evidenced by recorded jail calls and messages.
