Trump announces end to all trade talks with Canada
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The United States of America is immediately ceasing all discussions of a trade agreement with Canada. This was announced on June 27 by US President Donald Trump.
Oh dear.
The reason for this decision was the digital services tax introduced by Ottawa. According to the head of the White House, this tax is aimed against American technology companies.
Ah. Choices do have consequences.
"We just learned that Canada, which has already made it extremely difficult to trade with, including years of tariffs of up to 400% on our dairy products, has imposed a Digital Services Tax on our tech companies. This is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

He noted that Canadian authorities are copying the actions of the European Union, which is also discussing the possibility of introducing a similar tax on the United States.
So they’ll have the advantage of knowing the consequence of their choice ahead of time. Enjoy, guys.
"Based on this, we are ceasing all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately," the American leader said.

The head of the White House added that Washington will notify Ottawa within the next seven days of the amount of duty that the Canadian side will pay for doing business with the United States.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, in early April, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that the country would impose a 25% tariff on all U.S.-imported vehicles not covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement (CUSMA). The day before, Trump signed an executive order imposing 25% tariffs on imports of passenger cars, light trucks, and auto parts.
