President Donald Trump said he is “decertifying” all aircraft built in Canada and threatened to impose 50 percent tariffs on Canadian aircraft sold to the United States, in an escalation of trade tensions between the neighboring countries that could have ramifications for U.S. air travel.
In a Truth Social post late Thursday, Trump accused Canada of “wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly” refusing to certify models of Gulfstream jets and “effectively prohibiting” the sale of the American-owned business jets in Canada.
“We are hereby decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in Canada, until such time as Gulfstream, a Great American Company, is fully certified, as it should have been many years ago,” he said.
“If, for any reason, this situation is not immediately corrected, I am going to charge Canada a 50% Tariff on any and all Aircraft sold into the United States of America.”
