U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 50% tariff on all Canadian-made aircraft sold in the United States, marking a sharp escalation in trade tensions with long-time ally Canada. The threat, shared on social media, targets Ottawa for refusing to certify jets from U.S. manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace, according to Trump, and comes without specifying when tariffs would begin. As part of the dispute, Trump also warned the U.S. would decertify Canadian aircraft, including models from Bombardier. The move follows previous tariff threats over Canada’s potential trade deal with China and expands an ongoing bilateral trade conflict with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. (PC: NDTV)
