Creating barriers isn’t a great way to go about it. Protectionist efforts just get returned with tit for tat exchanges in the exact same way that has happened with aerospace.
Boeing didn’t want competition in the US domestic market. They thought they could squeeze out Bombardier, but weren’t expecting that to come around and have the A220 get sold to Airbus (who are now doing really well with the A220, since the A220 is legitimately a really nice plane).

Not for Canada. Bombardier couldn’t do shit as Boeing filed a case with the DOJ and bled Bombardier dry for… Well, no reason, really.
We still can’t do anything to Boeing or the US about it.
Bombardier sold to Airbus?
And the EU did do something about it, for 17 years

Bombardier sold their commercial aviation industry (aka the CSeries). Now they’re only focused on private jets.
Which they sold to Airbus, which is why Boeing went for them I guess.
