Canada Drops Tax That Infuriated Trump | Bloomberg The Pulse 06/30

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 19:11:35 +0000

Canada has withdrawn its digital services tax on technology companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and Alphabet Inc. in a move to restart trade talks with the US. “Rescinding the DST will allow the negotiations to make vital progress and reinforce our work to create jobs and build prosperity for all Canadians,” Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said in a social media post late Sunday local time. On Friday afternoon, US President Donald Trump said he was ending all trade discussions with Canada, one of its largest trading partners, in retaliation for the digital tax. He also threatened to impose a fresh tariff rate within a week.
