## Summary & Core Narrative
Harish Krishnan’s analysis begins with a concrete question about Bombardier and the US market. The wider lesson is about dependence: when one market matters disproportionately, access can become a source of pressure.

The article connects current tariff politics with a broader argument about economic leverage. It also notes a limit to that leverage, because cross-border firms bring suppliers, workers and customers on both sides of the relationship.

For alumni watching their own industries, the useful takeaway is a question rather than a forecast: where are the alternatives, and what would it take to build them?

## Key Takeaway
