Boy, Trump extorting Canada again!
Canada should raise prices of potash 100%, and on northeast electricity, that would be a knock out punch to Trump!
AI Overview
As of January 30, 2026, President Trump has threatened to impose a 50% tariff on all aircraft imported from Canada and to "decertify" Canadian-made planes, alleging that Canada is blocking the certification of U.S.-made Gulfstream jets
. This escalation in trade tensions directly targets manufacturers like Bombardier and could impact U.S. air travel and private jet sales.
Key details regarding the threat:
- Target: Canadian-made aircraft, specifically impacting Bombardier Inc..
- Tariff Rate: 50% on aircraft sold into the U.S..
- Retaliation Motive: The move is in response to Canada's alleged refusal to certify Gulfstream jets (G500, G600, G700, and G800).
- Scope: While initially threatening to decertify all Canadian-made planes, a White House official indicated this would not apply to planes currently in operation.
- Industry Impact: The threat has caused concern over the integrated North American aviation industry, as many components for U.S. planes are sourced from Canada, notes this analysis from Johnson Financial Group.
