    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.

      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.

      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.

        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

            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.

              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!

                Ah yes. So after that bottle episode called "A Visit to Iran", it looks like the people making the show want to pick up the Canada War plot thread again. I'm guessing the dumbass protagonist threatens Canada a bit, before giving up and claiming victory. These showmakers are running out of ideas.

                  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.

                      He also knows that if he just repeats things people will believe them, even in spite of evidence they can see, feel and touch.

                          3% of revenue is a substantial number.

                          However, even better:

                          The tax, which will take effect on 30 June and be applied retroactively from 2022, will impact both domestic and international companies, meaning American giants Amazon, Google, Meta, Airbnb and Uber will have to start payments from Monday.

                              I've had one.
                              It does not.
                              It tastes salty and orange.

                                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.
