Trump Wins After Canada Drops Digital Services Tax

News summary

President Trump successfully pressured Canada to rescind its Digital Services Tax on American technology companies, which he had denounced as a "direct and blatant attack on our country." After Trump suspended trade talks with Canada, the Canadian government reversed course within 48 hours, agreeing to scrap the tax and resume negotiations aimed at a comprehensive trade deal by July 21, 2025. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney acknowledged the decision was made "in anticipation" of a mutually beneficial agreement, reflecting a shift following Trump's hardline stance. Experts and commentators framed this development as a major victory for Trump’s America First agenda and negotiating style, highlighting his influence in reshaping global trade dynamics. The quick Canadian retreat was seen as a response to the potential economic risks and tariffs Trump threatened, underscoring his administration's assertive approach to protecting U.S. interests. Both leaders have committed to continue dialogue to finalize the trade arrangement, signaling a renewed phase of cooperation.
