Donald Trump said on Thursday that he is decertifying all aircraft made in Canada and threatened a 50% tariff on those planes until American-made Gulfstreams are certified in that country.
Trump specifically said he was decertifying the global express business jet from Quebec-based Bombardier.
“Canada is effectively prohibiting the sale of Gulfstream products in Canada through this very same certification process,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “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.”
CNN has reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration for comment.
It is unclear whether Trump has the legal authority to decertify aircraft; the White House has not released an executive order on any Canadian aircraft tariffs. Trump did not specify any mechanisms to decertify the planes in his post.

So uncharacteristic of Trump to make such a declaration. If he can’t legally do it (he can’t), I wonder how he will move the goal posts in order to convince his followers that he followed through.

See how long that grounding lasts when the millionaires cant use their private jets

I don’t think making the same threat repeatedly works. At some point everybody simply starts ignoring and doing their own thing.

Anyone who thinks MAGA in any way stands for small government is delusional. From trampling individual rights to bullying companies, Trump demonstrates over and over again that the only consistent value he holds is trying to force everyone to do what he wants.
Fortunately, he seems too volatile and capricious to follow through with a consistent fascist agenda but there are many in the wings pulling his strings and awaiting their turn for power.

Yeah Trump knows more about planes than anyone else.
Obviously just like he knows more about the economy, it’s all Biden fault that the trade deficit with the United States is the largest it’s been in some 30+ years and the dramatic fall of of the USD and the dropping of treasury bonds by multiple countries. Also it’s Hillary who’s to blame for the worst polling numbers for a president.

Yes because the president should have that kind of control over the FAA. Hey Americans, you great yet?
Odd_Secret9132 on
So wait. He’s decertifying all Canadian made aircraft, and slapping a 50% tariff on new purchases? If they have been decertified they can’t be sold in the US, so the tariff is meaningless…..
Also, banning all Canadian aircraft over the fact we wouldn’t certify a few models of niche aircraft (executive jets) shows whose actually in the driver seat down there.
Plucky_DuckYa on
He has to say decertify (as in unable to fly) because the people who buy bombardier’s globaljets aren’t really price sensitive. What else are they going to buy? The Airbus aj221 is the only thing really comparable and their wait list is pretty long.
The people and businesses who own them also happen to be the types who can get a phone call with the President if they want one, and they would be none too pleased to see their jets grounded.
I suspect this will go away soon.
