加拿大向唐纳德·特朗普总统屈服,在周一针对美国科技公司的数字服务税生效前几个小时取消了该税,为重启关税谈判铺平了道路。
特朗普周五宣布,他将就该税暂停与美国北方邻国的贸易谈判,这令人震惊。
施压行动奏效,为总统赢得了贸易胜利。
加拿大总理马克·卡尼和特朗普周日通话,同意重启贸易谈判。加拿大财政部在一份声明中表示,双方的目标是在7月21日前达成协议。
与此同时,渥太华表示将暂停征收3%的税款,该税款将打击亚马逊、谷歌和脸书等美国大公司。
此外,加拿大政府表示,加拿大领导人将提出立法,取消该税,“以期与美国达成互利的全面贸易协议”。
美国股市对该消息反应良好,周一开始上涨。
Canada caved to President Donald Trump and scrapped its digital services tax targeting U.S. technology firms just hours before it was due to take effect on Monday, paving the way for the resumption of tariff talks.
Trump, in a shock announcement on Friday, announced he was suspending trade talks with America’s neighbor to the north over the tax.
The pressure campaign worked, handing the president a trade victory.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump spoke on Sunday and agreed to resume trade negotiations. Their goal is to have a deal by July 21, Canada’s finance ministry said in a statement.
In the meantime, Ottawa said it would pause collections on the 3% tax that would hit major American companies like Amazon, Google and Facebook.
Additionally Canadian leaders will introduce legislation to rescind the tax ‘in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States,’ Canada’s government said.
The U.S. stock market responded well to the news, starting off Monday on an uptick.
