Trump says he’s ending trade talks with Canada over its 'egregious' tax on technology firms

President Donald Trump says he’s suspending trade talks with Canada over its plans to continue with its tax on technology firms. Trump said Friday that Canada had informed the U.S. it was sticking to its plan to impose the tax set to take effect Monday. The Republican president calls it an "egregious Tax." Canada’s digital services tax applies to businesses that engage with online users in Canada. The digital services tax will hit companies including Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb with a 3% levy on revenue from Canadian users. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says his country will “continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interests of Canadians."
