Donald Trump made it clear that he was not happy with Canada's new tax on companies like Meta and Amazon, which takes effect on Monday, June 30: "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," he wrote. "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!"

Canada is requesting a 3% tax on large tech entities with more than $800 million in annual revenue — specifically companies involved in social media services and online advertising. When the first installment is due, it will also be retroactive to sales made since the start of 2022. According to The Wall Street Journal, the first payment is estimated to be around $3 billion for the collective American firms being taxed.
