President Donald Trump on Thursday said he is decertifying all aircraft made in Canada as retaliation against the country for not certifying jets from Georgia-based Gulfstream Aerospace.
In a post on Truth Social, the president said he was decertifiying the Bombardier Global Express business jets and “all Aircraft made in Canada” because Canada has “wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly refused to certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 Jets.”
He also threatened the country with a 50 percent tariff on any aircraft sold in the United States unless the Gulfstream jets are certified in Canada.
“Canada is effectively prohibiting the sale of Gulfstream products in Canada through this very same certification process,” Trump wrote.
“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.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
