Trump Threatens Canada with Aircraft Tariffs Over Jet Certification Dispute
Former President Donald J. Trump posted a statement threatening to impose a 50% tariff on all Canadian-made aircraft sold to the United States. The threat is in response to Canada's refusal to certify Gulfstream jets (models 500–800), which Trump called "one of the greatest, most technologically advanced airplanes ever made."
In retaliation, Trump claimed the U.S. would "decertify" Canada’s Bombardier Global Express jets and all other Canadian-made aircraft until Gulfstream receives full Canadian certification. He accused Canada of effectively blocking Gulfstream sales through its certification process.
