Trump ends all U.S. trade talks with Canada over digital services tax
- On June 27, 2025, President Trump announced the immediate termination of all U.S. trade discussions with Canada over its digital services tax, posting the statement on social media.
- This action followed Canada’s decision to implement a 3% digital services tax targeting revenue from U.S. tech companies, a law signed a year ago amid ongoing tensions.
- The tax applies retroactively to revenues above C$20 million from Canadian users and affects firms like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber, and Airbnb, with payments due June 30.
- Trump characterized the tax as a "direct and blatant attack" and announced that tariffs on Canadian products would be imposed within seven days, stating that Canada would be notified about these measures shortly.
- The termination deepens the trade conflict, as Canada depends heavily on U.S. exports, and Treasury Secretary Bessent signaled investigations and additional trade restrictions may follow.
