Canada approves latest Gulfstream business jets after Trump tariff threat

Canadian regulators have approved Gulfstream G700 and G800 business jets in a move that comes weeks after new tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump over the planes’ status in Canada. A Transport Canada database shows that it certified the American company’s latest private planes on Monday. A spokeswoman for Canada’s transport minister confirmed on Tuesday that the certification was granted by Transport Canada. It came roughly a week after green-lighting two older Gulfstream models. Trump threatened last month to decertify and place tariffs on all Canadian-built planes unless the government approved Gulfstream business jets.
