Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US, expanding trade war
AI Summary
President Trump threatened Canada with a 50% tariff on aircraft sold in the U.S., escalating the trade dispute between the two countries. The threat, announced on social media, is in retaliation for Canada's refusal to certify jets from Gulfstream Aerospace, a U.S. company based in Savannah, Georgia. Trump also stated he would decertify all Canadian aircraft, including those from Bombardier, Canada's largest aircraft manufacturer. Bombardier responded that its aircraft are fully certified to FAA standards and expressed hope for a quick resolution to avoid impacting air traffic. An aviation expert noted that decertifying aircraft for trade reasons would be unprecedented, as certification is primarily about safety.
