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 US 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, roughly a week after green-lighting two older Gulfstream models. Marie-Justine Torres, a spokeswoman for Canada's transport minister, confirmed on Tuesday that the certification was granted by Transport Canada. Trump threatened last month to decertify and place tariffs on all Canadian-built planes unless the government approved Gulfstream business jets. The go-ahead from Transport Canada came despite deicing concerns flagged by the US Federal Aviation Administration, which granted the G700 and G800 conditional certification in 2024. The FAA said that Gulfstream, owned by General Dynamics, has until the end of this year to prove that the two plane types function "properly ... where ice ma

Canada to revoke citizenship of Tahawwur Rana ahead of Carney's India visit

Ahead of Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to India, the Canadian government is pushing to revoke the citizenship of a Pakistan-born businessman, Tahawwur Rana Hussain, accused of playing a key role in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. Rana, 64, is a Pakistan-born Canadian national and close associate of one of the main conspirators of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, David Coleman Headley, alias Daood Gilani, a US citizen. Documents obtained by Global News show that immigration officials have notified Rana that they intend to strip him of the Canadian citizenship he acquired in 2001. He immigrated to Canada in 1997 and was later convicted in the US of plotting to attack staff at a Danish newspaper. Rana, the mastermind behind the 26/11 attack, which killed 166 people, was extradited from the United States to India in April 2025. He was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as soon as he landed in New Delhi. In its decision, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
