(Bloomberg) — The head of the US Federal Aviation Administration said he expects Canada’s aviation regulator to move forward with approvals for Gulfstream jets after President Donald Trump threatened tariffs and other retaliatory actions against the country.
“I think we’ve resolved the issues with Canada,” FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told reporters Tuesday following a lawmaker briefing in Washington about air traffic control modernization. He said his understanding is that Transport Canada will announce certifications of the Gulfstream aircraft this week.
Trump wrote in a social media post last month that Canada had “wrongfully, illegally, and steadfastly refused to certify the Gulfstream 500, 600, 700, and 800 Jets.” In response, he said the US would decertify “Bombardier Global Expresses, and all Aircraft made in Canada, until such time as Gulfstream, a Great American Company, is fully certified.”
He also threatened to levy a 50% tariff against Canada on any aircraft sold in the US.
