Experts question U.S. president’s threat to decertify new Canadian planes
Trump targets new Canadian aircraft with potential 50% tariffs amid Gulfstream certification disputes, risking thousands of aerospace jobs, experts warn of economic impact.
- On Thursday, Trump threatened to decertify Bombardier Global Express and `all Aircraft made in Canada` in a Truth Social post, saying it would ground them and impose 50 per cent tariffs.
- Amid a certification dispute, Gulfstream's G700 and G800 remain uncertified in Canada, with de-icing concerns noted, and Trump accused Ottawa of refusing to certify four Gulfstream jets, framing it as illegal.
- Experts said Mr. Trump likely lacks authority to order decertification and warned the FAA may not have legal power to ground planes at the president's whim, as Ross Aimer noted, `This is really strange, because certification of aircraft is a very, very long process. It takes years.`
- Quebec and federal officials vowed to defend the aerospace sector, saying diplomats in Ottawa worked behind closed doors Friday while a White House official confirmed only aircraft not yet off assembly lines would be affected.
- Unions warned that politicized decertification could threaten thousands of jobs and harm U.S.-Canada supply chains, given the high U.S. content in Canadian-assembled jets.
