Clickbait headline. Approving airplanes isn’t like flipping a switch. It’s a long, technical process that usually takes months or years. The jets that were approved were probably already close to being finished in the system.
If Canada had truly folded under pressure, our government would have approved all the models at once. They didn’t. 2 are still pending.
So what we really have is this: Trump complained, and around the same time Canada finished part of the paperwork. That’s timing. It’s not proof he forced the decision.

lol has nothing to do with fixing the issue (the fuel line freezing problem) but hey who give a shit about airline safety. Just profits.

FFS not everything is about the orange menace.
„After it, therefore because of it“.
The exact problem Transport Canada wanted to double-check [is the exact problem that caused the first-ever hull loss of a Boeing 777](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_38).
The Gulf Stream 500 and 600 were approved.
The 700 and 800 require further testing related to fuel lines potentially freezing at elevation.
The delayed approval of the 700 and 800 is the source of Trump latest upset not the 500 and 600.
It was the 700 and 800 that was the source of the issue on day one and that remains unchanged.
The craziest part is that they’re not even approved in the States yet. They simply were granted an exemption
So Trump wants us to approve them based on them saying they should be and not actually because of any testing or data
