On Friday (local time), former US President Donald Trump announced that all trade negotiations with Canada would be halted immediately.

In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump criticized Canada as being “very difficult” to trade with and claimed that the recently introduced Digital Services Tax (DST) by the Canadian government was a deliberate attack on American businesses.

"We have just learned that Canada—a nation that's long imposed tariffs up to 400% on American dairy—has now unveiled a Digital Services Tax aimed at US tech firms. This is a direct assault on our country. They appear to be mimicking the European Union, which is also under discussion with us," Trump said.
