The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Ottawa is trying to defuse American anger over safety approvals for General Dynamics' Gulfstream jets after President Donald Trump blasted Canada for having "refused" to certify the planes and threatened retaliation against Bombardier and other domestic manufacturers. The Globe's Nicolas Van Praet writes that U.S. and European regulators have certified Gulfstream's G700 and G800 models with an exemption lasting until the end of 2026 to give the company time to do more testing and prove it has addressed potential issues related to ice in the jets' fuel system. Canada has not granted that exemption and is still reviewing the aircraft. "Canada is working with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, Bombardier and General Dynamics to resolve outstanding certification matters in a way that protects safety and regulatory integrity, while maintaining market access on both sides of the border," Transport Canada said in a statement Tuesday. Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon said Canada has a collaborative relationship with the FAA that stretches back decades in matters of aircraft certification. He cautioned that he does not interfere with the certification process.
