Trump has promised 50 percent duties.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington has revoked the certification of all Canadian planes. He threatened to impose duties if Ottawa did not reconsider its denial of certification for U.S. Gulfstream business jets.
Trump said this in a Truth Social.
He writes that because Canada "wrongfully, illegally and persistently" refuses to certify Gulfstream 500, 600, 700 and 800 jets - "some of the greatest and most technologically advanced" jets in the world - the U.S. is retaliating.
"We are canceling the certification of Bombardier Global Express and all aircraft manufactured in Canada until Gulfstream, a great American company, is fully certified as it should have been years ago," Trump wrote.
The U.S. leader added that Canada is effectively banning the sale of Gulfstream products in the country through the same certification process. If the situation is still not resolved, duties will be imposed on Canadian aircraft.
"If for any reason this situation is not immediately rectified, I will charge Canada a 50% customs duty on all aircraft sold to the United States of America," Trump concluded.
In the meantime, Bloomberg writes that it is not yet clear how serious a threat Trump's statement poses to Canadian planes already in service with U.S. airlines.
In particular, Bombardier's CRJ series regional jets are widely used by U.S. carriers. According to American Airlines Group, it has about 200 CRJs in its regional fleet in 2025.
In addition, Delta Air Lines' regional partners operate more than 150 CRJs by the end of 2024.
