Canada responds after Trump halts trade talks over digital services tax

OTTAWA – Canada will proceed with a digital services tax (DST) on technology companies, which President Donald Trump called “a direct and blatant attack on our country” in a Truth Social post on Friday in which he said that his administration was “terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada effective immediately.”

On Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office issued a one-line response to the president’s announcement.

“The Canadian government will continue to engage in these complex negotiations with the United States in the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses,” it said.
