End of negotiations: Trump sharply changed course in dialogue with Canada on tariffs

US President Donald Trump has halted all trade negotiations with Canada due to the introduction of a digital tax on American tech companies. In his post on the social network Truth Social, Trump called Canada's decision an 'outrageous tax' and announced new import tariffs on Canadian goods. He also accused the country of copying the European Union's policies and ceasing cooperation with it.Trump's decision is unexpected, as after a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, an intention to conclude a broad trade agreement within 30 days was announced by both countries. Canada's digital tax, introduced last year, targets foreign companies operating in the country but not tax residents. Companies must pay this tax by June 30.
