Intel is closing its automotive chipmaking business

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!

Both sides have committed to ongoing negotiations, with the implementation of the agreement expected in the coming weeks1611. The deal follows earlier agreements to suspend or reduce tariffs and to continue dialogue on economic and trade relations.

On June 27, 2025, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda signed a U.S.-brokered peace agreement in Washington, D.C., aimed at ending decades of violent conflict in eastern Congo. The deal was facilitated by President Donald Trump, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio playing a key diplomatic role. The agreement focuses on the disengagement and disarmament of armed groups, withdrawal of Rwandan troops, and economic integration to attract Western investment, particularly in the region’s critical minerals. While hailed as a turning point, the deal faces skepticism regarding its implementation and the willingness of key rebel groups to comply.
