WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the United States is halting all trade negotiations with Canada due to Ottawa's decision to implement a new tax on American tech companies.
“We have just been informed that Canada… has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,” the US president added.
