Trump Threatens 50% Tariffs on Canadian Aircraft, Vows to 'Decertify' Bombardier Jets

  • Donald Trump threatened a 50% tariff on all Canadian aircraft sold into the US unless Canada certifies Gulfstream business jets.
  • He stated the US would decertify Bombardier Global Express jets and all Canadian-made aircraft until Gulfstream is fully certified.
  • Trump accused Canada of illegally refusing to certify Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 Jets and prohibiting their sale in Canada.
  • This threat is the latest in a prolonged trade dispute between the US and Canada since Trump took office.
  • It remains unclear if Trump possesses the legal authority to decertify aircraft or impose such tariffs without an executive order.

Why It Matters: Trump escalates trade tensions with Canada, threatening tariffs and decertification over aircraft certification dispute.
