Canada Cancels Billion-Dollar Digital Tax After Trump’s Warning | Times Now World | Times Now World
Canada has scrapped its planned digital services tax just hours before it was set to take effect, following direct threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to impose new tariffs and suspend trade talks. The decision, announced by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne on Sunday, marks a significant U-turn as Ottawa faced escalating pressure from Washington and Canada’s own business community. The now-abandoned tax would have targeted major U.S. tech firms like Google and Facebook, potentially generating billions in revenue. Trump’s move reignited transatlantic trade tensions, warning Canada against following Europe’s digital taxation path. #canada, #us, #donaldtrump, #digitaltax, #tradewar #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
