Trump Proposes 50% Tariff on Canadian Aircraft Sold in US

President Trump has threatened Canada with a 50% tariff on aircraft sold in the U.S., escalating tensions in their trade relationship amid a feud with Prime Minister Mark Carney. This retaliation follows Canada’s refusal to certify jets from Gulfstream Aerospace, leading Trump to decertify all Canadian aircraft, including those from Bombardier. The U.S. previously imposed duties on Bombardier’s CSeries jets, alleging unfair pricing practices. Tensions have heightened as Carney criticized U.S. trade policies, prompting warnings from U.S. officials about potential repercussions.
