White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt boasted that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney caved to President Donald Trump‘s pressure to end Canada’s digital services tax on U.S. tech companies.

“It’s very simple. Prime Minister Carney and Canada caved to President Trump and the United States of America,” Leavitt said during a Monday press briefing. “And President Trump knows how to negotiate, and he knows that he is governing the best country and the best economy in this world, on this planet. And every country on the planet needs to have good trade relationships with the United States.”
