Trump says he's ending 'all discussions on trade with Canada' effective immediately
-
"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.
Oh he knows. He's just compelled to lie by whatever that jelly is in his head that is a brain in normal people.

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.
Aw, even though Carney tried so hard to pass bill c-2 for daddy Trump? I wonder what their new excuse for the bullshit "border" bill will be.

It would be highly amusing for Canada to start making Star Wars films without Disney's approval, along with a little "Come get me fuckers".
With the Trailer Park Boys as the main characters. Bubbles as Han Solo.

And U.S. consumers lose because, if there's still anyone unclear on this, we pay the goddamn tariff and not a single person in Canada.
Well there is counter tarrifs on some US goods we'd hypothetically pay... if we were still buying US products, that is.

I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again
Agree with @regedit Canada should cash in a few bonds, and when president felon freaks out, do a few more. Explain to the orange child that he needs to shut up about Canada, drop the tariffs and observe the trade agreements.
America deserves all the backlash the world is piling on it right now.
Republicans are vile scum, treat them with the disrespect they have earned. -
Reminds me of a joke. The person that says it can quit smoking anytime they want, because in fact, they do it multiple times a day.

Congrats to Canada on their newfound status of not having to listen to trumps noise anymore.
And no worries, America will be back soon on its knees groveling for lumber and fish. Just ship it through Mexico, itll be fine.

Lol oil. Railcar from Alberta to BC, onto a tanker to Mexico, then railcar back up to Montana for the refineries that are tooled specifically for tar sands oil.
Sure it's expensive, but oil from across the pond is about to be as well, or did Iran back down on that?

He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.
hes also been obsessed with tariffs since forever.
-
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.
simspons did an episode of a retalitory french nuclear strike.

Maybe, but then he’ll learn why there’s Geneva conventions.
Sweet Summer Child the world is not going to do a damn thing. We are all ducked

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.

It is a corporation tax, not the sales tax.
They are using the turnover to estimate tax liability because taxing profits achieved in a single country by digital multinationals is bordering on impossible (and too easy to avoid).
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.

I'm telling ya! ICE is running out of money, and tariffs are collected by the DHS instead of the IRS. I'm betting tariffs are going under the table to fund it
Yes, and that's not even under the table.

I’d like someone to do the maths for me how much energy will be used versus how much is created after all that…

That means nothing. He will taco. Then Canada will get even more pushed away from our once great partnership.
Remember how Trump fucked up the election in Canada for the conservatives? They literally had it in the bag. But Taco showed up with his tiny mushroom dick.
If people could stop putting that man’s meat and two veg in my head, that would be great…

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.
When I was 4 or 5 I went to the zoo with school and the woman who was showing us round starts telling us about these Canadian Geese and my teacher asked where they were from …the employee dryly says “Canada, would you believe…”.

Do you mean Greenland or did they do some deal with Iceland?

Ugh. No, you're right. Greenland.
