US President Donald Trump on Thursday (Jan 29) opened a fresh front in his trade war with Canada, threatening the nation with 50 per cent tariffs on its aircraft sold into the United States. He also announced plans to all Canadian-made aircraft, warning that the move would stay in place until American-made Gulfstream jets receive certification in Canada.<h2>Canada "wrongfully, illegally" refusing to certify the Gulfstream?</h2>Writing on Truth Social, Trump singled out Bombardier's Global Express business jet, produced in Quebec, accusing Ottawa of blocking US aircraft through regulatory barriers. "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," he wrote.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/-hopefully-we-won-t-have-to-use-it-trump-confirms-very-big-very-powerful-ships-heading-to-iran-1769735829348">‘Hopefully we won’t have to use it’: Trump confirms ‘very big, very powerful ships’ heading to Iran</a>Trump alleged that Canada was "effectively prohibiting the sale of Gulfstream products in Canada" and warned that "If, for any reason, this situation is not immediately corrected, I am going to charge Canada a 50% Tariff on any and all Aircraft sold into the United States of America."<h2>US and Canada: From allies to adversaries</h2>The warning marks another sharp turn in US-Canada relations, which have steadily deteriorated since Trump returned to office last year.
