The tariff is on finished aircraft from Bombardier. As in Bombardier, Quebec, Canada. As in Canada, member of NAFTA, North American Free Trade Agreement, along with the USA and Mexico, an agreement considerably deeper and more encompassing than a basic FTA.
He's just plain dishonest. He'll stop at nothing to get his precious Brexit.

The Irish PM has correctly analysed the situation. “It could well turn out to be a lesson for the UK,” Mr Varadkar said during a summit of European leaders in Tallinn, Estonia on Friday. “There’s been a lot of talk of a new trade deal between the UK and the US and how great that would be for the UK but we are now talking about the possibility of a trade war.” Referring to the issues raised by the Bombardier case, Mr Varadkar said: “Every country in the EU is a small country. We’re stronger together as a trading bloc.” https://www.ft.com/content/bc27d22c-...f-7f5e6a7c98a2
