OTTAWA, June 28 (Xinhua) — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday called negotiations with the United States “difficult” in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement to end all trade talks with Canada over new tariffs.
“We will continue to engage in these difficult negotiations based on the interests of Canadian citizens,” Mr. Carney told local media.
D. Trump announced on Friday that the United States would end all trade talks with Canada over Ottawa’s plan to impose a digital services tax on American tech companies.
On his Truth Social page, the American leader wrote that Canada had just announced a digital services tax on American tech companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on the United States.
The new digital services tax will go into effect on June 30. American tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb will be forced to pay a 3 percent tax on revenue generated from digital services to Canadian users.
Canada and the United States are in talks to end Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods, which have already caused a severe economic downturn. –0–
