Trump terminates trade talks with Canada, new tariffs to come

President Donald Trump said Friday that he had terminated trade discussions with Canada, citing an incoming Canadian tax on digital service providers including ones based in the U.S..

In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Canada as "a very difficult country to trade with" and said that its levy on tech firms — the first payment for which is due Monday — "is a direct and blatant attack on our Country."

"Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately," he said. "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."

I don't know if Canada trades a lot with the USA but that seems like a good idea for Canada to start importing from somewhere else ♥

Canada trades a shitton with the US, but seems to be prepared to work around the US based on their ongoing discussions with the UK and China

It's the fact that his cult is incapable of understanding that American consumers pay for this, not Canada's government
