Canada approves all Gulfstream jets, ‘backing down’ to Trump’s tariff threats
AI Summary
Canada's aviation regulator, Transport Canada, has certified two Gulfstream private jet models, GVIII-700 and GVIII-800, after US President Donald Trump threatened to decertify all Canadian-made aircraft unless the matter was resolved. The certifications were issued on Monday, following earlier approvals of other models in February. Trump had claimed that Canada had "wrongfully, illegally" refused to certify the jets, which are made by General Dynamics' Gulfstream unit. The move is seen as a victory for Trump's negotiating skills and a win for US manufacturing. Transport Canada's decision comes after Trump threatened to levy a 50% tariff against Canadian-made aircraft. The certification of these two models brings an end to a trade dispute between the US and Canada over aviation regulations.
