U.S. President Donald Trump intensified his trade war with Canada a day ahead of his August 1 deadline for a tariff agreement, saying it would be “very hard” to make a deal with Canada after it gave its support to Palestinian statehood.
Trump is set to impose a 35% tariff on all Canadian goods not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement if the two countries do not reach an agreement by the deadline.
Last month, Carney’s government scrapped a planned digital services tax targeting U.S. technology firms after Trump abruptly called off trade talks saying the tax was a “blatant attack.”

Carney, stop appeasing them. It doesn’t gain you anything, and it teaches them you can be pushed around.
Time to impose the digital services tax for good.
Honestly fuck this guy, theres other kids in the playground. Lets go make some friends and ignore this country until it gets its shit together.
Careful mentioning other kids on the playground to Trump, he’ll try to fuck them too.
I think Canada will cave as did EU at the end because there seems to be a stupidity and cowardness epidemics going on and it affects mostly said politicians.
Fuck Trump and the horse he rode in on. Every Trump outburst is a demonstration of their voulnerability.
voulnerability
Is that like a lounge and a vulnerability?
Sorry, but this post was 3 up from here in my feed.
The funny thing is that outside of car manufacturing, all of his threats are impotent because of NAFTA that he signed.
And his handlers know it. If he steps out of that agreement, Canada fucks him over.
The current US government can go eat a bag of dicks.
