I don't think there are many civilian transport aircraft or helicopters these days which are exclusively made in a particular country, the concept of 'Buy American' or 'Buy European' is somewhat facile and does not reflect the globalisation of the lower tier suppliers. Think how many PWC PT6 engines are installed in 'American Helicopters' for example and the proportion of the aircraft ticket price that the engines represent.
