It might be possible to construct a case based on that line of thought but nothing in what Trump has said suggests that to be his logic. Looks much more like domestic politicking of the type that will appeal to his core support.
Goodness knows what it will do to transatlantic trade, US tourism and the US's own airlines.
It will lose BA a lot of traffic interlining at LHR. More so KLM/Air France, Lufthansa etc from their bases.
I think it could be the final nail in the coffin of Norwegian Air Shuttle.
