President Trump on Friday proudly announced a US-brokered peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After three decades of war, the two countries have now agreed to a historic peace deal thanks to President Trump.
Trump celebrated the peace agreement in the Oval Office on Friday and he got testy with a reporter who asked a question about Canada.
On Friday afternoon President Trump announced he terminated all trade discussions with Canada after they imposed a Digital Services Tax on American tech companies.
Trump also said Canada will be slapped with a new tariff.
“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. 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. 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!” Trump said on Truth Social.
A reporter tried asking Trump about Canada as he celebrated the historic peace agreement between Congo and Rwanda.
“This is about a different subject right now — actually a much more important subject. We just ended a war that was going on for 30 years with six million people dead, so don’t ask me a trade question on Canada,” Trump said.
