>WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened Canada with a 50% tariff on any aircraft sold in the U.S., the latest salvo in his trade war with America’s northern neighbor as his feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney expands.
>Trump’s threat posted on social media came after he threatened over the weekend to impose a 100% tariff on goods imported from Canada if it went forward with a planned trade deal with China. But Trump’s threat did not come with any details about when he would impose the import taxes, as Canada had already struck a deal.
>In Trump’s latest threat, the Republican president said he was retaliating against Canada for refusing to certify jets from Savannah, Georgia-based Gulfstream Aerospace.
>Trump said the U.S., in return, would decertify all Canadian aircraft, including its Bombardier. “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,” Trump said in his post.

Im sure the CEOs, Music people, Billionaires and Athletes will all love being grounded. There’s something like 2500 Bombardier private jets in the States.

I used to think that there were checks and balances in the US system of government. Now we see their national policies changing according to the whims of one man and his closest advisors. Congress and the judiciary are not impeding him at all.

Trump wants Americans to pay more. Surprise.

So just to be clear, this is because transport Canada won’t certify some Gulfstream planes. So, threats rather than addressing the potential issues with the aircraft. That seems on point for Trump.

From the relationship CNN article: “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.”

Hmmm I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that Gulfstreams parent company, General Dynamics, gave Trump over $70k in campaign contributions, and donated over $324,000 to 67 of the 147 Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election.
As usual, Trump the corrupt does favors for his rich friends at the cost of the American people.

Also toying with the Putin invasion playbook. Using Alberta separatist group as an excuse. We need to invade Canada to save the separatists just like with Donetsk / Donbas in Ukraine I’m sure they’d say. Not there yet but a Canadian invasion would be even more dumb that Greenland, far far more stupid.
Proving the exact reason why American is not a reliable trading partner. Who would make a deal with Mr. ThinSkin who changes his mind every other month. That’s not stable for any economy. We are moving on…. 🇨🇦

“[Trump] said he was retaliating against Canada for refusing to certify jets from Savannah, Georgia-based Gulfstream Aerospace.” The business jet has FAA and EASA (European) approval, and is waiting on Canadian approval. Canadian approval typically takes longer than FAA or EASA approval.

What a surprise that Trump is at this again. Just like when he said Bombardier has government subsidies which is unfair. Meanwhile [Boeing ](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/which-u-s-companies-receive-the-most-government-subsidies/) is by far the most subsidised company in the US by far. Can’t wait for the orange shit sack to make his way to hell.
Every day the headline is the same.
Trump threatens <insert country> with <insert amount>% tariffs on <insert random item> due to <insert cry baby reason>
