I'm sure you know who I am speaking of. He wants to decertify Canadian built aircraft from the United States.
“Based on the fact that Canada has wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly refused to certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 Jets, one of the greatest, most technologically advanced airplanes ever made, we are hereby decertifying their Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in Canada, until such time as Gulfstream, a Great American Company, is fully certified, as it should have been many years ago,” Trump wrote.
“Further, Canada is effectively prohibiting the sale of Gulfstream products in Canada through this very same certification process. If, for any reason, this situation is not immediately corrected, I am going to charge Canada a 50 per cent Tariff on any and all Aircraft sold into the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The FAA does not "decertify" aircraft by country. Certification is based on type design and safety compliance, not nationality. But rules don't mean anything to him.
There are about 5,400 Canadian built aircraft registered in the United States. Roughly 2,600 of those are Bombardier jets. About 650 are CRJ regional airliners. The CRJ's operate more than 2,600 flights every single day offering around 175,000 seats daily. Those planes connect smaller American cities to major hubs.
Go for it grandpa and you will only hurt American passengers in smaller communities! It won't make America great. It will make it late. Late to work. Late to weddings. Late to chemotherapy.
As far as your tariff threats, why hasn't the Supreme Court ruled on it?
