Former President Donald Trump has announced on social media that he may impose a 50% tariff on aircraft sold in the United States by Canada. This move is a response to Canada’s refusal to certify certain jets manufactured in Savannah, Georgia.
The proposed tariff would escalate tensions between the two countries and could impact trade relations in the aerospace sector. Details on the timeline and scope of the tariff have not been fully disclosed.
**Why this matters**
The aerospace industry is a significant part of the U.S.-Canada trade relationship, and tariffs could disrupt supply chains and increase costs for manufacturers. This dispute highlights ongoing challenges in trade negotiations and regulatory approvals between the two nations.
