Thursday, Canada signs huge rare earth mineral mining deal with
IcelandGreenland, humiliating Trump.Friday, Trump throws a tantrum.
Do you mean Greenland or did they do some deal with Iceland?

Ugh. No, you're right. Greenland.

Yup. Companies avoid paying taxes in one country by getting their divisions in other, lower tax countries to charge the one in the high tax country so much for intellectual property and branding etc that they make a loss in the high tax country, which in some countries entitles them to a tax rebate. It's insane.
Which is why most of the multinationals should be taxed on turnover in a country taxing them.

"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.
Right, but he can't raise income tax very much, and he needs money to give to all the rich fuckers, so a big federal sales tax "disguised" as a tariff is a decent way to raise funds.

Don't need to raise the income tax. The government makes up the money. Could simply turn on the printers and give to the billionaire. The cruelty is the point as it always is.

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.
Well lets see I wonder what the reason for this could be. Could it be the deal we signed with Greeland on Thursday? Could it be the 2.5bil US companies owe us on Monday? Could it be the fact they murdered one of our Citizens? gee which one could it be?
Fuck em and fuck that country. I hate Nazi's and it makes my stomach churn that I have to live above a nation full of them.

As an embarrassed American, I would urge you to boycott any remaining goods until such time as we're not a Nazi shithole. Might be a while.
Don't worry... already on it.

Good. I was a bit worried that we'd make some concessions to end the tariffs. Once you've paid the Dane-geld you'll never get rid of the Dane. We have other partners to trade with.

Ugh. No, you're right. Greenland.
It's easy to remember which one is which, Iceland is green and Greenland is covered in ice.

If I were say... Disney, I'd consider planning a Canada Disney Land due to all the missed non-American's avoiding tourism in Florida. Just Sayin'...

Iceland = Bjork, Greenland != More ice-covered land than green.

We will let Canada know the tarrif that US citizens will pay to get Canadian products. That's what he means, though he is too much a dumbass to know it.

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.
- Sitting too close to the water with a nice sandwich can be interpreted as deliberately pissing them off.

You know this is not how it works, yes?
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yes and no. Companies will always try to pass expenses like tax onto their customers. My guess is they will increase rates on customers significantly to recover some of those unexpected retroactive costs in the near term with the side effect of increasing revenue above the 3% tax in the long term.
