CAE Inc. secured a $300 million contract with the U.S. Air Force to continue training crews. This deal extends CAE Inc.'s role as the main contractor schooling U.S. aircrews on the C-130 Hercules military transport plane. The contract was awarded despite a decree from U.S. President Donald Trump that banned the federal government from procuring Canadian items.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The contract, which covers training through 2035, was granted to CAE Inc.'s American defense division. The presidential order bans the federal government from procuring Canadian items. It remains unclear whether the presidential order applies to services or only to goods, or if it covers Canadian companies with U.S. subsidiaries.
