Trump Halts Canada Trade Talks, S&P 500 Recoils from Record Highs

In a major development impacting North American economic relations, former President Donald Trump has abruptly ended all U.S. trade talks with Canada. The cessation of discussions is reportedly due to Canada’s proposed digital services tax, a move that introduces new uncertainty into bilateral trade policies.

The announcement immediately influenced market sentiment. While the S&P 500 had earlier surged to touch a fresh record high, it subsequently retreated from that peak as traders absorbed the news of the collapsed trade negotiations. This reflects the market’s sensitivity to significant geopolitical and trade policy shifts.

The decision signals a potential escalation in trade tensions between the two neighboring countries. Financial analysts and investors are now closely monitoring for further details and the broader economic implications of this unexpected diplomatic turn.
