Trump Drops 50% Tariff Bomb: 4 Jets Ignite U.S.–Canada Clash
Trump threatens a 50% aircraft tariff after Canada blocks Gulfstream jet certification, escalating a U.S.–Canada trade fight over aviation and fairness.
Washington, D.C. — President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday announced a sweeping escalation in trade tensions with Canada, accusing the country of unfairly blocking certification of U.S.-made Gulfstream jets and threatening massive retaliation.

In a strongly worded statement, President Trump said Canada has “wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly refused” to certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 aircraft—jets he described as among “the greatest and most technologically advanced airplanes ever made.”
As a direct response, the President declared that the United States will move to decertify Canada’s Bombardier Global Express jets, along with all aircraft manufactured in Canada, until Gulfstream receives full approval.
“This is about fairness, sovereignty, and standing up for a Great American Company,” the President said, emphasizing that Gulfstream should have been certified “many years ago.”
Trump further warned that if the situation is not corrected immediately, his administration will impose a 50% tariff on any and all Canadian-made aircraft sold in the United States, a move that could dramatically impact the North American aerospace market.
According to the President, Canada’s certification process has effectively functioned as a trade barrier, blocking Gulfstream products while allowing Canadian aircraft continued access to U.S. buyers.
Industry analysts say the move could reshape the aviation sector and intensify an already fragile U.S.–Canada trade relationship. Supporters of the President argue the action is long overdue, calling it a necessary defense of American manufacturing and innovation.
“This is America First in action,” one administration official said. “If our companies are locked out, there will be consequences.”
The White House made clear that negotiations remain possible—but only if Canada moves swiftly to certify Gulfstream jets without further delay.
For now, the message from Washington is unmistakable: certify American aircraft—or face historic tariffs.
