Key Takeaways

  • Trump threatens decertification of Bombardier Global Express aircraft.
  • Canada refuses certification of Gulfstream models.
  • 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US if situation is not corrected.

Strategic Implications

This move may indicate a shift in US-Canada relations over aviation regulations. The threat could disrupt the North American aerospace industry and impact jobs, particularly at Bombardier. However, it’s unclear whether the FAA has authority to revoke certifications on economic grounds.
