Trump wants Canada's digital services tax gone before trade talks resume
U.S. president calls DST an 'attack on our country'

U.S. President Donald Trump says he's ending all trade discussions with Canada to hit back at Ottawa for slapping a tax on web giants — and he wants it removed before negotiations can begin again.

Canada and the U.S. have been locked in talks to get Trump to lift his punishing tariffs on Canadian goods, levies that have already led to major economic dislocations, job losses and a drop in southbound exports. Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed at the G7 last week to reach some agreement on the trade dispute within 30 days.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon, Trump said the U.S. has "such power over Canada," and that he's upset the country is following a taxation strategy similar to Europe's.

"We're going to stop all negotiations with Canada right now until they straighten out their act," he said.

Asked if there's anything Canada can do to appease him, Trump said Ottawa could remove the tax.

"They will," he said. "They do most of their business with us. When you have that circumstance, you treat people better."

What is Canada's digital services tax — and why does Trump dislike it so much?

Earlier Friday, Trump posted on social media he may impose some sort of blanket tariff on Canadian goods as retribution for the DST, which will primarily hit U.S. firms since it targets only the biggest earners.

Speaking briefly to reporters before Trump's Oval Office comments, Carney said he hadn't talked with Trump that day.

"We'll continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interest of Canadians," Carney said. He did not address a reporter's question about whether his government is prepared to drop the DST — something the Business Council of Canada is calling on Ottawa to do in exchange for U.S. tariff relief.

Set to take effect on June 30, the DST would have U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users. The policy will apply retroactively, leaving U.S. companies with a $2-billion US bill due at the end of the month.

These global digital firms are often able to skirt paying taxes in the countries where they operate, and the last Liberal government pitched the DST as a way to bring the tax code up to date and capture revenues earned in Canada by firms located abroad.

U.S. long opposed DST

It's been a bone of contention between Canada and the U.S. for years, with former president Joe Biden's ambassador to Canada warning during his tenure that, if a DST was enacted, the U.S. would hit back.

While Canada and other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries had been discussing some sort of global DST, the Trudeau government decided to move ahead with its own tax rather than wait for co-ordinated action.

Where the world stands with Trump's tariffs

Carney and Trump commit to reaching trade deal within 30 days

Carney's finance minister, François-Philippe Champagne, said last week Ottawa planned to enact the tax even while negotiations with Trump are ongoing.

That's what's prompted the president's ire.

"We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump said.

As he has done in the past, Trump mischaracterized Canada's tariff regime on U.S. dairy products.

The high tariff rates Trump frequently cites are only applied if U.S. exports exceed a set "tariff-rate quota," something that has never happened.

Trump's own Department of Agriculture noted earlier this year that almost all agricultural products traded between the United States and Canada are free of tariffs.

In an interview with CBC's Power & Politics, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said supply management, which places limits on certain products, including dairy, to ensure stable prices, is a "cornerstone" Canadian economic policy that is "extremely important."

Anand said that despite Trump's threats, Canada will push ahead with trying to broker a deal that's in the best interest of workers and businesses, "while at the same time ensuring we diversify our supply chains so we are never again dependent on one economy."

She touted the New EU-Canada Strategic Partnership of the Future that Carney brokered with the European Union earlier this week.

Trump's abrupt decision to call off negotiations may have caught Canadian officials off guard.

Speaking to CBC Radio's The House hours before Trump's post, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Canada's negotiators "continue to be optimistic about the constructive tone" between the two countries.

Still, Candace Laing, president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, said there have been signs the "tone and tenor of talks has improved in recent months." Trump and Carney have had two friendly meetings in that time, and she hopes to see "progress continue" despite Trump's apparent attempt to derail the talks.

"Negotiations go through peaks and valleys. With deadlines approaching, some last-minute surprises should be expected," Laing said.

yeah, you entirely miss the point - American digital services, without a CENT of local investment, are being charged taxes for the locals consumption, in the EU and CA - American know how is being forced to pay taxes to enable foreign businesses, are being forced to pay taxes for the infrastructure that enables whatever feeble efforts at tech that they are trying for

All Europe including GB is tyrannical tax nest

Sorry but you are going to have to translate that.

If a US company does business, earns revenue and makes a profit in a foreign country why should they not pay local tax on that profit? Or is that not what you are getting at?

The American government is THE biggest crook in this sort of thing.

Where gave you bean past few years?

Each time a European country threatens one of the American big companies, Fuckbook, Google etc with demanding they pay their share of tax, the American government threatens them fate worse than death, financially!

All American politicians are whores working for these thieves!

no doubt, we will be impacted and you wont feel it ...

The tax on digital services is entirely reasonable. Making it retroactive is not. I would not have thought anyone was stupid enough to think Canada collects taxes to give to the crown, but I was wrong.
Liberal governments collect taxes to give the proceeds to their supporters and buddies. Just like The Democrats do in the US. In general, when the Conservatives are in power, they collect taxes to distribute the proceeds amongst their supporters and their buddies; just like the Republicans do in the US.
Both sides always hope that THIS time it will be different. This time their party will live up to the ideals the electorate thinks they represent. Doesn't happen though. Every time, the elected party falls back on to the same old shit. In recent years, the only difference is that both parties chose to elect people who were unfit for the job. Bill

Were they? Seems up in the air, at least according to the UN who says the Iranians could be back to enriching Uranium in a months time.

Trumptards supporting shitty foreign policy, a hige tax increase in the form of tariffs, attacks on our allies and the idea that Putin is a "friend" still make me want to puke though Steve.

OTTAWA – U.S. President Donald Trump has unexpectedly inserted himself into Canada’s upcoming federal election, suggesting he would rather see Prime Minister Mark Carney re-elected than Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. While Trump stopped short of a formal endorsement, his comments on Fox News have added a new layer of controversy to an already volatile race.
