He joins MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss how Donald Trump put more than 1,200 jobs at risk in Kansas by threatening to block sales from Canadian aircraft company Bombardier, and the hundreds of patients his opponent, Republican Sen.

President Trump said the U.S. would ban Canadian alcohol, some dairy products and large motorcycles, sharply escalating a trade war largely fought with tariffs .
