No More Digital Speed Bumps Uncle Sam's Trade Talks Shift Gears!

Family First Trade Second... Wait Maybe Not!

Listen up family. Dom here. I've been hearing whispers on the street about some digital speed bumps – what they call 'digital services taxes' – popping up around the world. The White House or as I like to call it Uncle Sam's garage ain't too happy about it. They're saying they want all these countries to ditch those taxes in their trade talks. You know like how you gotta drop the weight to go faster. Seems fair right? Family sticks together and fair trade keeps the engine running smooth. But Uncle Same is not family so I will only do family business.

Canada Ditches the DST: A Quarter Mile at a Time

So Canada eh? They had this new tax on digital stuff but then they suddenly slammed on the brakes and reversed it over the weekend. Apparently they want to 'advance broader trade negotiations' with the US. Translation? They don't want a fight with Uncle Sam. Reminds me of that time I had to race Johnny Tran. Sometimes you gotta make a tactical retreat to live to race another day. First to act fast wins.

Trump's Ultimatum: No DST No Trade. Period.

Here's where it gets interesting. Apparently Trump the head honcho at Uncle Sam's garage threatened to cut off all trade talks with Canada if they didn't scrap that tax. Talk about NOS! Canada folded faster than a lawn chair at a demolition derby. They must know you don't mess with family... I mean Uncle Sam. This is not how family is supposed to be. You don't turn your back on family even when they do.

The Wrath of Jameson Greer: The New Sheriff in Town!

Some dude named Kevin Hassett one of Trump's advisors said that countries with these digital taxes are going to face the 'wrath' of this other guy Jameson Greer the U.S. Trade Representative. Sounds like a sequel to a bad action movie. But seriously they're not messing around. I bet Jameson Greer could probably do a ten second quarter mile.

Deadlines Loom: High Stakes High Octane!

The White House has a bunch of deadlines coming up for tariffs on a bunch of countries. Hassett thinks they'll make a bunch of deals after Congress passes some big budget bill. Sounds like they're trying to rebuild the engine while driving 200 miles per hour. Risky but you know what I always say: I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

We Can Do Whatever We Want: Dom's Motto Now Uncle Sam's?

Trump apparently said 'We can do whatever we want' when someone asked him about sticking to the tariff deadlines. Sounds familiar right? Like something I'd say before doing something completely insane in a Dodge Charger. But the real question is: Is it really about family or just about winning the race?
