On February 11, 2026, Brian Bedford, head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), announced that Canada is poised to finalize the long-pending certification of Gulfstream business jets, effectively resolving a point of contention raised by former President Trump. Bedford revealed that Transport Canada is set to approve the certification of Gulfstream aircraft models this week, a process that has been stalled for several years. Earlier, Trump had criticized Canada for what he termed its "unjust, unlawful, and persistent refusal" to certify four Gulfstream models—the 500, 600, 700, and 800—and had threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian aircraft and withdraw existing certifications in retaliation.
