It's a win win win. We shut down two of the main disinformation pipelines, the 3% tax issue goes away, and we send a big FU to the Orange One. It's the ultimate power move. #canpoli #CanadaStrong — www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/t... @thenewsninja : The idiot are getting angry because Canada will have 3% tariff on some Tech Giants. Has Trump forgotten who it was that started this tariff madness❓ — Trump ends all U.S. trade talks with Canada over digital services tax — www.cnbc.com/2025/06/27/t... @aarwalk : It's time to take your “president” to a special quiet place with lots of kind and patient helpers so that he can enjoy his waning twilight years without any big distractions upsetting him, America. If this man wasn't rich he'd've been arrested for eating out of the bulk bins at the grocers by now. … Joey Politano🏳️ / @josephpolitano : I guess we're back to doing insane trade war threats against Canada again — (readers should note that Canada's Digital Service Tax was passed before Trump was elected and that the US has much, much higher tariffs on Canada than vice-versa) [image] Joey Politano🏳️ / @josephpolitano : It's very funny that in rhetoric Trump goes “this trade negotiations are about REINDUSTRIALIZATION FACTORIES ONE BILLION US STEEL MILLS” and then in practice he's like “uhh can you lower the taxes on Facebook” Joey Politano🏳️ / @josephpolitano : I think Digital Service Taxes are dumb, and US tech companies have a point that they're being targeted unfairly. But *the US government* doesn't have a point, because they're doing much much much more unfair targeting of foreign companies than Canada. Truth Social: Donald J. Trump / @realDonaldTrump@truthsocial.com : We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country. … X: Jim Stanford / @jimbostanford : Let's lift the Digital Services Tax to 25% on U.S.-based digital, data, & streaming companies, incl. Amazon, to match the 25% tariff Trump has on our steel, aluminum, and cars. Yep, that'll make Netflix more expensive. And it'll get the attention of his tech fanboys. #ElbowsUp /2 Gil McGowan / @gilmcgowan : This is a war of the billionaires against everyone else. Big tech billionaires (Musk, Zuckerberg etc) don't pay taxes on their profits in Canada. Trump wants to keep it that way. We need to stand our ground! #ElbowsUp [image] Michael Geist / @mgeist : Unsurprising response to moving ahead with the digital services tax in Canada. Always carried significant retaliatory risk. Howard Lutnick / @howardlutnick : Digital Services Taxes are designed to unfairly target U.S. tech companies—punishing American innovation and costing our economy and companies tens of billions. Why do countries think they can attack our technology companies and then turn around and try to take advantage of our 30 Trillion dollar economy? Megan Cassella / @mmcassella : Bessent tells @CNBC he believes USTR will launch a Sec. 301 probe into Canada's digital services tax, which could lead to tariffs. But he also says Trump could simply impose tariffs under IEEPA. The 301 is more durable, but IEEPA is much faster—unclear, to me, which is in play. Joel Kaplan / @joel_kaplan : Thank you, President Trump, for standing up for American tech companies in the face of unprecedented attacks from other governments. We appreciate your support and recognition of the importance of American business and innovation.
