Canada announced Sunday night it was suspending a tax on U.S. technology firms that had caused President Trump to suspend trade negotiations between the two nations, handing a major victory to the American president.
The Canadian government said it was suspending enforcement of the tax that was due to be collected starting Monday, saying the action was taken “in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney informed the Trump administration of the decision, and the two sides plan to resume trade talks on or about July 21.
Trump had called the tax on technology firms an “attack” on America, and suspended trade talks Friday in an effort to pressure Canada.

Lol I have to admit that I love watching President Trump expose this moron we have in power for the loser he is. Canada needs to realize exactly what President Trump so eloquently stated.....we have no cards in the game! Zero.

I looked up “caco” in the urban dictionary. Since this has nothing to do with gangsters, do you mean “crack open a cold one”?

Canada exports 75% of their goods to the USA....and I don't see that changing in the near future. It's not like other countries need Canadian goods.
This is like that between a hard rock....

There is no justification for a tech tax. Just socialist nations grabbing for cash wherever they can.

I guess Carney will now give a big speech declaring victory over the U.S., President Trump, and our nation’s harmful tariff policies.
