Donald Trump has announced a halt to all trade negotiations with Canada, citing the country's planned digital service tax (DST) as the reason. In a statement released on Truth Social, the former President accused Canada of "a direct and blatant attack on the United States" by imitating the European Union's approach to taxing American tech companies. Trump stated his administration would suspend all trade negotiations immediately and notify Canada within seven days of the new tariff rates it would face when trading with the United States. The proposed Canadian DST, aimed at taxing revenue generated by large digital corporations, has been a point of contention between the two countries. The U.S. argues such taxes unfairly target American companies. This move signals a potential escalation in trade tensions between the two nations. ```
