The U.S. slapped a preliminary 220 percent tariff on
Bombardier's CSeries jets, whose wings are made at a plant in
Belfast, last week following a complaint from Boeing <BA.N>.
"We've lobbied the U.S. government hard on this issue, but in
the end this is a quasi-judicial decision where a citizen or a
company makes a complaint and a government department
adjudicates it."
"We will go on talking to the U.S. government and the Canadian
government in order to protect the jobs at Bombardier in
Belfast."
"We have a very, very special relationship with the United
States but of course every country, the UK, the U.S., others,
all have our own internal domestic processes, our own legal
systems and we can't necessarily always ensure that they work in
a way that we would like."
