President Trump terminated trade talks with Canada over their digital services tax and threatened new tariffs to be set in the next seven days.
This decision led to a drop in the Canadian dollar and affected companies reliant on cross-border trade, such as General Motors and Canada Goose Holdings.
Canada is moving forward with its digital tax, opposed by business groups, which American lawmakers estimate could cost U.S. companies $2 billion.
The Canadian tax is akin to those in other countries, targeting 3% of digital services revenue above C$20 million, affecting companies like Meta Platforms and Alphabet.
