Donald Trump ‘forces’ Canada to kill tax on Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Google. He’s sending a clear message …
In a dramatic turn of events, President Donald Trump has notched a significant trade victory as Canada announced it will rescind its controversial Digital Services Tax (DST) targeting American tech giants, just days after Trump threatened to halt all trade negotiations with Ottawa. On June 29 evening, Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne declared, “Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States.” The decision halts the collection of the 3% tax on digital services revenue from companies like Amazon, Google, and Meta, which was set to begin Monday, June 30, 2025, and would have applied retroactively to 2022.
