Labour MP Conor McGinn, who was born and brought up in Northern Ireland, says the Bombardier dispute shows that Britain is stronger within the European Union.
“Hard Brexit campaigners in Government keep promising that Britain will get a great new trade deal with the US after we leave the EU. That’s how they justify their ideological choice to leave the Single Market and Customs Union.
“But now we see the US Government taking a decision which is totally against our economic interests and could put thousands of jobs at risk across the UK, especially in Northern Ireland.
“We can’t rely on a good trade deal with the US being agreed after Brexit. To protect jobs and our economy, we need to stay in the Single Market and Customs Union to preserve trade with our largest market – the EU.”

Paul Adams, head of aerospace at management consultancy, Vendigital, reckons that the Bombardier-Boeing dispute will take some time to resolve:
“Boeing’s legal challenge may in part be influenced by Trump’s ‘America First’ policy. The US manufacturer could be seeking to test the new administration’s resolve when it comes to protecting US jobs against foreign competitors selling to US customers.
“As history shows, trade disputes in the aerospace sector can become protracted - the Boeing / Airbus dispute ultimately had to be resolved by the World Trade Organisation. It is likely that Bombardier will appeal the US court’s decision, before the final hearing in 2018.
