Trump threatens tariffs, decertification on Canadian-made aircraft

U.S. President Donald Trump singled out Bombardier in a threat to decertify and tariff Canadian-made aircraft.
The president said if “this situation is not immediately corrected” he will put a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian aircraft sold in the United States.
Canada has re-emerged as a target of Trump’s anger since Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a widely praised speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
In his Jan. 20 speech at the WEF, Carney warned that the old world order is dead and urged middle powers to band together as larger ones try to pressure them through economic coercion.
Trump, in a social media post, called Carney a “governor.”Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent later said those tariffs would only be applied if Canada signed a free-trade agreement with China, which Carney has said Ottawa has no intention of doing.
