U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he’s terminating all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately.
“We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period,” Trump said in a social media post.
He says he’s pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its digital services tax (DST), which requires web giants pay a special tax.
Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users — a policy enacted by former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s government that the Parliamentary Budget Office projects will bring in billions of dollars in revenue.

ART OF THE DEAL
Canada should back out of the USMCA and stop respecting US IP
Some of us never started
It would be highly amusing for Canada to start making Star Wars films without Disney’s approval, along with a little “Come get me fuckers”.
If you don’t mind losing leg so the other guy gets cancer. Canada needs more time to detach first.
Conspiracy Time!
I wonder if they are trying to flood the ‘Canada’ SEO because of this recent event:
https://globalnews.ca/news/11262681/canadian-dead-ice-custody-florida/
The deceased lived in the US for their entire adult life. It’s not like a tourist was snatched and died in custody. First, everybody should be outraged about this type of treatment happening to a human being, but there’s no reason for Canada to have anything more to do with this.
We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying
…that’s… not how this works…
After all this time he still has no idea how tariffs work.
It works like that when you assume the other country will desperately lower their export prices and eat the difference so in the end it’s still sold at the same price in the country raising the tariffs. In practice the greedy capitalists raise prices in the shops at the mere mention of the concept of tariffs, even when the product is produced locally.
Canada geese are my favorite bird. I see them by the lake all the time. They are perfectly well-behaved, until you deliberately try to piss them off.
Canada needs to start cashing in their US Bonds. Let’s watch the US economy start to crash.
I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again
I hope not. Please do it. tRump and his shit-sucking base only give a shit when the leopard is dousing them and theirs in hot sauce. If crashing and burning this fucker and our country is what it takes to end him and them, don’t wait! Do it slowly, like someone shredding important documents.
Bonus points if they or anyone does it each time this regime tries to lie or bury that pressure point. Rich people back this fuck-squad because they care about two things: their money and their lives. Threaten one and/or the other until they abandon him!
“We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying…”
How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.
He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.
He also knows that if he just repeats things people will believe them, even in spite of evidence they can see, feel and touch.
What a stupid timeline, in which the above is true🙄
I’m not certain what he knows or does not know. In any case, his message to MAGA is clear, Canada will pay, and they’ll believe it.
I mean, he did make Mexico pay for the wall that he built. Right guys? He did, didn’t he? Fox News said that he did, and they wouldn’t lie, right?!?
Of course he did! Do you not remember? It was in the summer of 2022. President Biden launched a surprise nuclear assault on France. Every major American city was leveled. With NATO in ruins, Mexico built a wall to hold back the tide of refugees above the border. They also sent humanitarian and financial assistance, thanks to a deal masterminded by Trump.

It’s not so much whether or not he knows it, so much as how much he cares. He knows what he says will get his base riled up, and that’s what he likes. It strokes his ego and gives him more power.
That could be true, but he is dumb enough to not understand. Malice or ignorance are always possibilities.

I’m telling ya! ICE is running out of money, and tariffs are collected by the DHS instead of the IRS. I’m betting tariffs are going under the table to fund it
Too weak…
How dare the Canadian government get American companies to pay their fair share for operating here [in Canada]
How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.
I am so sick of having to redo all my estimates every time trump tweets about my country.
His words have been proven to mean nothing. He just speaks without any thought, senile old man.
Bring in BYD …
This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they’re taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more … then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.
