Tensions Rise as Trump Slams Canada Over Digital Tax

Just as U.S.–Canada relations seemed stable, former President Donald Trump reignited tensions, calling Canada’s new 3% digital services tax a “blatant attack” on American tech firms like Amazon, Google, Meta, and others. The tax, retroactive to 2022, could cost these companies $2 billion by month’s end.

In a post on Truth Social (June 27), Trump accused Canada of being difficult to trade with and suspended all trade talks, threatening new tariffs.
