Trump Halts Canada Trade Talks, Announces New Tariffs

Washington D.C. - Former President Donald Trump has announced the termination of all trade discussions with Canada, citing what he described as Canada's "very difficult" trade practices and new taxation measures. The announcement, made via a Truth Social post, indicates that new tariffs on Canadian goods are expected to be implemented within the next seven business days. In his statement, Trump highlighted Canada's alleged 400% tariffs on dairy products, which he claims have been in place for years, impacting American farmers. He also pointed to Canada's recent announcement of a Digital Services Tax on American technology companies, characterizing it as a "direct and blatant attack on our Country." "Based on this, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately," Trump wrote. "We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States within the next seven day period. Thank you for your support in this matter!" The move signals a potential escalation in trade tensions between the two neighboring countries, raising questions about the future of their economic relationship and the potential impact on consumers and industries.
