UK Prime Minister, United States President in telephone conversation

United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May has held a telephone conversation with President Donald Trump over threat to jobs at Bombardier in Belfast from a trade dispute.

In 2016, Canadian firm Bombardier won an order to supply up to 125 Cseries passenger jets to United States Airline Delta.

The wings for the Cseries are made at Bombardier’s Belfast plant.

However, rival aircraft firm Boeing has complained to the United States authorities that the deal was unfairly subsidized by the Canadian state.
