(<a href=\"\/stock\/BBD.B\">BBD.B<\/a>)<\/strong> from the U.S. market unless the Canadian aerospace firm moves its manufacturing operations to American soil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brent crude futures<\/strong> settled higher at <strong>$97.31 per barrel<\/strong>, gaining <strong>1.1%<\/strong> as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to pressure global energy supplies.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)<\/strong> confirmed the <strong>Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant<\/strong> has been re-connected to the electrical grid following critical repairs to damaged power lines.<\/li>\n<li>Trump\u2019s trade ultimatum comes as <strong>Canada<\/strong> prepares to implement <strong>$20 billion in retaliatory tariffs<\/strong> on U.S. goods, including steel and agricultural products, effective September 8.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Trump Targets Bombardier in &quot;America First&quot; Trade Offensive<\/h2>\n<p>In a series of aggressive posts on <strong>Truth Social<\/strong>, President <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> declared &quot;that era is over&quot; for Canadian planemaker <strong>Bombardier Inc. (<a href=\"\/stock\/BBD.B\">BBD.B<\/a>)<\/strong>, demanding the company build its aircraft in the United States to maintain market access. Trump claimed that over <strong>50% of Bombardier\u2019s revenue<\/strong> originates from the U.S., accusing the company of treating America like a &quot;piggybank&quot; while allegedly benefiting from American infrastructure and buyers.<\/p>\n<p>The President further linked the ultimatum to broader trade grievances, accusing <strong>Canada<\/strong> of blocking U.S. banks and companies. He specifically cited a dispute involving <strong>Gulfstream Aerospace<\/strong>, a subsidiary of <strong>General Dynamics (<a href=\"\/stock\/GD\">GD<\/a>)<\/strong>, claiming Canada had previously restricted the American firm&#39;s operations. &quot;Buy American. Fly on American airliners,&quot; Trump wrote, reinforcing his <strong>&quot;America First&quot;<\/strong> platform across the aviation and consumer sectors.<\/p>\n<h2>Energy Markets Surge Amid Middle East Volatility<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Brent crude futures<\/strong> rose <strong>$1.03<\/strong> on Monday to settle at <strong>$97.31 per barrel<\/strong>, a <strong>1.1%<\/strong> increase. The price action reflects ongoing market anxiety over supply disruptions in the Middle East. <em>Analysts note that the benchmark has climbed over 10% in the past month<\/em>, driven by escalating rhetoric and military activity near key transit corridors like the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in <a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/energy\/crude-oil\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"12\" title=\"Crude oil\">oil prices<\/a> coincides with a period of heightened volatility for global commodities. While <strong>U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI)<\/strong> also saw gains, settling near <strong>$92.63<\/strong>, the global Brent benchmark remains the primary focus for traders assessing the impact of potential &quot;tit-for-tat&quot; strikes on energy infrastructure between the U.S. and regional actors.<\/p>\n<h2>Nuclear Safety Milestone at Zaporizhzhya<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)<\/strong> announced a significant breakthrough in nuclear safety as the <strong>Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP)<\/strong> was successfully re-connected to the external electrical grid. The restoration follows a localized ceasefire brokered by IAEA Director General <strong>Rafael Mariano Grossi<\/strong>, which allowed technicians to repair the <strong>330 kV Ferosplavna-1<\/strong> power line.<\/p>\n<p>The facility had been relying on <strong>emergency diesel generators<\/strong> since August 20 to power essential cooling systems for its six reactors. The IAEA emphasized that while the reconnection reduces the immediate risk of a station blackout, the safety situation remains &quot;fragile&quot; due to ongoing military activity in the surrounding region. <em>The restoration of off-site power is considered a critical step in preventing a potential radiological disaster.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways President Donald Trump has threatened to ban Bombardier Inc.
