January 2026: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Trump Targets Canadian Aircraft With Decertification Threat, 50% Tariff Warning

Trump Targets Canadian Aircraft With Decertification Threat, 50% Tariff Warning
"President Trump on Thursday threatened to "decertify" Canadian-made aircraft and slap a 50% tariff on planes sold into the United States, in a potential move that would mark an unprecedented

intervention in aviation regulation, given this function is traditionally handled by the Federal Aviation Administration (however, the FAA has yet to issue comment).
In a Truth Social post, Trump linked the threat to Canada's refusal to certify several Gulfstream business jet models, amid broader growing tensions related to him calling the country America's "51st state".
"We are hereby decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in Canada," Trump wrote on Truth Social, warning that if the dispute is not "immediately corrected," Washington would impose a "50% Tariff on any and all Aircraft sold into the United States of America."
But again, the reality remains that no US president has ever directly "decertified" commercial aircraft, but it signifies a further breakdown in Washington-Ottawa relations."
