The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that the federal government says it has decided to rescind a digital services tax that led President Donald Trump to break off trade negotiations. The Globe's Steven Chase and Bill Curry write that in a late Sunday announcement, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government said talks with the Trump administration would resume now that Canada has repealed the levy, which applied to U.S. tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb. Mr. Trump on Friday had announced the United States was "terminating all discussions on trade with Canada" in response to the digital services tax. First payments under the levy were due Monday and the initial bill faced by big U.S. companies was expected to exceed $2-billion (U.S.), retroactive to 2022. The tax would have imposed a 3-per-cent levy on Canadian revenue from digital services exceeding $20-million earned by companies with at least $1.1-billion in global revenue. This would have included revenue from search engines, social-media platforms and on-line marketplaces. "People don't realize, Canada is very nasty to deal with," Mr. Trump told Fox News Channel host Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired Sunday morning.
