00:09Canada says it's now dropping its digital services tax on American tech companies

00:13days after President Trump says he's holding all trade talks with Canada.

00:23How did he get Carney to drop it?

00:26And also, what's the impact on American tech companies given this latest progress

00:34It's very simple.

00:35Prime Minister Carney in Canada caved to President Trump in the United States of America.

00:40And President Trump knows how to negotiate.
