Britain told US plane maker Boeing yesterday that it could lose out on British defense contracts because of its dispute with Canadian rival Bombardier which has put 4,200 jobs at risk in Northern Ireland. The US Department of Commerce on Tuesday imposed a 220 percent duty on Bombardier’s C Series jets, whose wings are made at the plant in Belfast, following a complaint by Boeing which accuses Canada of unfairly subsidizing Bombardier.
