Trump aviation threats that would affect Bombardier, Gulfstream and others: What we know

U.S. President Donald Trump's latest grievance threatening to upend the deeply integrated economic ties between the U.S. and Canada involves business jets.

Trump said on Thursday in a Truth Social post that the U.S. was decertifying Bombardier Global Express business jets and threatened 50 per cent import tariffs on all aircraft made in Canada until the ​country's regulator certified four series models produced by U.S. rival Gulfstream.

Trump also said he was "decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in ​Canada" until the Gulfstream planes were certified.

Transport Canada, which is responsible for Canadian certification, did not respond immediately to a request to Reuters for ​comment.

IAM, ‍a union representing more than 600,000 workers in North America and thousands of workers in the air transportation and aerospace sector, said Trump's threats "would cause serious disruption to the North American aerospace industry and put thousands of jobs at risk on both sides of the border."

John Gradek, a lecturer on aviation and supply chain management at McGill University in Montreal, told CBC News he was "flabbergasted" by Trump's outburst, given the ramifications for the industry.

The price tag for a business jet can run up to $80 million US, and major carriers like Delta and American Airlines have used Bombardier planes in their fleets.

Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
