US President Donald Trump Criticizes Canada's Aviation Regulatory Process
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has thrown its weight behind US President Donald Trump’s criticism of Canada’s aviation regulatory process. The FAA Administrator, Bryan Bedford, raised concerns over foreign countries not certifying US-made planes, echoing Trump’s claims that Canada had ‘illegally’ refused to certify Gulfstream aircraft. Bombardier shares dropped 9% following Trump’s post on social media, with the company denying any wrongdoing and highlighting its significant presence in the US. The FAA’s stance may signal a desire to protect US interests, but the impact on air traffic and jobs remains uncertain.
