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.

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.

I’m losing track. Is that 50% on top of the 100%?

Am I reading this wrong, or is the g500 certified in Canada?
30% fuck you export tax on electricity to Trumpistan.
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.

“It is unclear whether Trump has the legal authority to decertify aircraft”.
The fact they say this is perhaps the sort of thing that will harm the us economy for a generation or perhaps forever. And I’m not just talking about the aerospace industry. The us is a global economic superpower because at its core we all believe that it believes in the free market and the rule of law. The moment it becomes possible that this market and rules can change based on the whim of one man it’s over. It may not die overnight. I’m sure the economic might of America could ride on the fumes of past glories for a few years but it will decline. Like any brand, even if its name is valued for ages, once that trust is damaged it can become almost impossible to recover.
I think we are really watching the death of the American empire in realtime.
ManintheGyre on
Canada will certify planes on their own schedule and criteria. We don’t rely on the FAA anymore. And the government of Canada doesn’t tell Transport Canada when the planes are safe! Planes have crashed because of software and fuel icing problems and USA might not care but that’s because they suck.
This is like Russia demanding a western government interfere in court judgements becuase that’s what happens in Russia. USA is the new authoritarian Russia.
Jegged on
I admit that these Truths or announcements or whatever used to weigh very heavily on me. I would constantly monitor the news whenever a tariff announcement was made: how are we responding? What impact will it have? How negatively will it impact our country?
These days, I completely stopped caring. How can I care about this when, even if we respond, tomorrow it will just be something else anyway? And the something else will be equally incoherent and dumb.
I don’t even care anymore, and I have to imagine most Canadians, if not most non-Americans, are probably feeling the same way.
Wait til the facts come out. It’s likely they are in the “certification stage” and when they are ultimately approved he will claim that we caved in and he won. It’s all about the appearance of a win.
