Bombardier CEO Eric Martel said on Monday he was concerned Washington could target the private planemaker’s U.S. contracts if Canada cancels a C$19 billion ($13.30 billion) deal for 88 Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets.

“Effectively, we could be targeted. This is my concern,” Martel told reporters in Montreal after a speech hosted by the Canadian Club.

In October, Montreal-based Bombardier announced the delivery of an eighth jet to the United States Air Force as part of a deal with a potential value of $465 million. The aircraft carry specialized communications platforms.
