A new tariff is being announced by the White House for Canada.
President Donald Trump confirmed on Friday, “We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The move comes after the creation of a digital services tax by Canada on American tech companies.

A report from the Washington Examiner notes that Trump confirmed he was cutting of trade negotiations with Canada and instituting a new tariff immediately.
“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,” Trump said on social media.
“They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately.”
The tariff announcement will be made within a week, he said.
Trump flamboyantly has suggested annexing Canada as the 51st state, and got into a push-and-shove with America’s northern neighbor earlier by announcing a 25% tariff.
Trump later adjusted those tariffs to mostly 10%.
And announcement said at the time, “President Trump will not allow our national security to be compromised by our closest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, but recognizes the unique impact that these tariffs could have on American automotive manufacturers.”
The White House said Trump was using tariffs “as a tool to take decisive actions that put Americans’ safety and our national security first.”
He earlier had imposed tariffs to secure the border and stop the flow of dangerous drugs through Canada into the U.S.
