Canada BOWS DOWN to Trump’s PRESSURE | Rescinds Digital Tax after Trump ‘KILLED’ Trade talks

Canada has officially scrapped its controversial 3% Digital Services Tax after former U.S. President Donald Trump halted all trade talks and threatened new tariffs. The tax, set to target tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta, faced intense U.S. backlash. Finance Minister Champagne said rescinding the tax is essential to reviving stalled negotiations. Ottawa had previously vowed not to yield, but with over 80% of Canadian exports reliant on the U.S., the rollback clears the way for renewed talks ahead of a July 21, 2025 deadline. #Canada #DigitalTax #Trump #USCanadaTrade #TradeTalks #Amazon #Meta #Google #TechTax #TariffThreat #DigitalServicesTax #Ottawa #MarkCarney #USExports #TradeFreeze #BreakingNews #EconomicPolicy #TradeDeal #CanadaUSRelations #FinanceMinister #TradeReversal #DigitalEconomy #CanadaBacktracks #TrumpTariffs #TaxRollback #BilateralTalks #GlobalTrade Also Read Canadian’s Viral Post Slams Sky-High Bengaluru Deposits: ‘I Could Buy A Thar Instead!’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/canadian-s-viral-post-slams-sky-high-bengaluru-deposits-i-could-buy-a-thar-instead-7786205.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Student Chants ‘Shankar Bhagwan Ki Jai’ At Graduation In Canada, Video Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-student-chants-shankar-bhagwan-ki-jai-video-goes-viral-canada-011-7785461.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~

Khamenei RIPS INTO Trump on Nuclear Site Damage | ‘Made EXAGGERATED claims to COVER-UP the truth’ [Video]

Khamenei RIPS INTO Trump on Nuclear Site Damage | ‘Made EXAGGERATED claims to COVER-UP the truth’

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has dismissed Donald Trump’s claims of "total destruction" of Iran’s nuclear facilities as exaggerated and misleading. He accuses Trump of inflating the success of U.S. strikes to conceal strategic failures, asserting that Iran’s nuclear program remains largely intact. Supporting this, IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi says Iran could restart enrichment in months. Khamenei insists America “gained nothing” from the war, while Pentagon leaks also contradict Trump’s narrative of total obliteration. #Khamenei #Trump #IranNuclearProgram #IAEA #Grossi #Fordow #Natanz #Isfahan #TrumpLies #USIranTensions #NuclearStrike #MiddleEastCrisis #NuclearDeal #IranStrikesBack #QatarBase #AyatollahKhamenei #TrumpVsTruth #BidenForeignPolicy #IranIAEA #LeakedPentagon #NuclearFallout #GlobalTensions #TruthVsPropaganda #MideastPolitics #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #IranNews #TrumpClaims #USMilitary #KhameneiSpeech #IranResistance Also Read Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.122~

‘In Matter of MONTHS...’ | IAEA Chief Drops BOMBSHELL on Iran’s Nuclear Uranium Enrichment Plans

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. Grossi emphasized that Iran’s expertise and infrastructure remain largely intact. Satellite images of Fordow show signs of possible reconstruction, contradicting Trump’s claim that Iran’s program was “totally obliterated.” The IAEA says damage was significant but not crippling. With Tehran cutting off cooperation with the UN watchdog, concerns are rising over Iran’s next nuclear move. #IranNuclearCrisis #IAEA #RafaelGrossi #Fordow #UraniumEnrichment #TrumpIranPolicy #NuclearTensions #IAEAWarns #IranStrikesBack #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranConflict #FordowFacility #BreakingNews #SatelliteImages #MaxarTechnologies #UNWatchdog #NuclearRestart #IranNuclearProgram #NuclearThreat #NuclearDealCollapse #Tehran #IranUpdate #StealthBomberStrike #TrumpClaims #IranianCentrifuges #NonProliferation #IranSanctions #GlobalSecurity #WeaponsOfMassDestruction #IAEALatest #IranFordowRepair Also Read IAEA Junks Rumours Of Radiation Leak From Any Nuclear Facility In Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iaea-junks-rumours-of-radiation-leak-from-any-nuclear-facility-in-pakistan-4153965.html?ref=DMDesc UN Nuclear Watchdog Chief Rafael Grossi to Visit Moscow Over Ukraine's Nuclear Safety Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-nuclear-watchdog-chief-visit-moscow-ukraine-nuclear-safety-011-4062419.html?ref=DMDesc Drone Attack Elevates Nuclear Accident Risk At Zaporizhzhia, Says IAEA Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/drone-attack-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant-risks-011-3794213.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.103~GR.124~

BIG WIN for President Trump | Senate PASSES the ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ by NARROW 51-49 Majority

Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill has cleared a key Senate hurdle with a narrow 51–49 vote, advancing to final debate. The multi-trillion-dollar plan slashes taxes, boosts military and border spending, and cuts social programs like Medicaid. Trump praised the vote as a “great victory.” GOP leaders lobbied hard, with VP JD Vance and Trump personally courting key senators. Democrats vow delays with procedural tactics, as a final vote and a long “vote-a-rama” amendment marathon loom ahead. #TrumpBill #SenateVote #BigBeautifulBill #TaxCuts #MedicaidCuts #PentagonSpending #BorderFunding #JDVance #TrumpVictory #VoteARama #GOPPolitics #USCongress #SenateShowdown #TrumpAgenda #RepublicanPush #July4Deadline #SpendingBill #BudgetBattle #CapitolHill #TrumpTaxPlan #USPolitics #BreakingNews #LisaMurkowski #RandPaul #SusanCollins #JohnJohnson #MedicaidFight #SenateDrama #VoteWatch #FiscalPolicy #CongressDebate Also Read Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Iran Strike Claims Under Scrutiny: Intelligence Reports Raise Doubts About ‘Total Obliteration’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-iran-strike-claims-under-scrutiny-intelligence-reports-raise-doubts-about-total-obliterati-7783233.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock [Video]

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock

Donald Trump’s flagship legislative proposal, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," faces a dramatic standoff in the U.S. Senate as three Republican senators—Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis—oppose it, forcing Vice President JD Vance to step in for a potential tie-breaking vote. The White House has called failure to pass the bill “the ultimate betrayal.” The bill, touted by Trump as a landmark achievement, needs a simple majority to pass, but GOP defections now threaten its future. With the Senate split and time running out before the July 4 deadline, Vance’s decisive vote could seal the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda. As Republicans wrestle with internal dissent, questions swirl over the bill’s substance, timing, and rushed delivery. Trump has publicly urged lawmakers to stop “grandstanding” and deliver results to the American people, branding the bill as “phenomenal” and necessary for the nation's future. #TrumpBigBeautifulBill #JdVanceTiebreaker #TrumpSenateVote #RonJohnson #RandPaul #ThomTillis #GOPDefection #SenateShowdown #TrumpLegislation #TrumpPromise #WhiteHouseStatement #RepublicanSenators #TrumpVanceBill #TrumpJuly4Deadline #TiebreakerVote #TrumpBillFail #TrumpBillSupport #OneBeautifulBill #PromisesMadePromisesKept #SenateRepublicans ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.125~

American Senators Fight Over Iran Strikes | Republicans Say 'Years Set Back', Dems Call Trump it LIE

A fierce clash erupted in the U.S. Senate after a classified briefing on the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. While Republicans praised the strikes as a major setback for Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Democrats cast doubt, with Sen. Chris Murphy bluntly saying Trump’s claims of “obliteration” don’t add up. Intelligence reports suggest Iran's program may have only been delayed by months—not years. As the truth behind the strike’s impact unfolds, partisan divisions are intensifying in Washington. #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #SenateClash #USPolitics #IranNuclear #ChrisMurphy #RepublicansVsDemocrats #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #OneindiaNews #Geopolitics #TrumpAdministration #USMilitary #IranTensions Also Read Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.274~GR.122~

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Collapse as Senate Balks |Medicaid Cuts, $4.2T Deficit, July 4 Deadline [Video]

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Collapse as Senate Balks |Medicaid Cuts, $4.2T Deficit, July 4 Deadline

U.S President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on Senate Republicans to pass his signature tax-and-spending package — dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” — before the July 4 deadline. The legislation includes sweeping tax cuts, boosts to border security, and expanded child tax credits. But it also slashes Medicaid and food stamp funding, raising fierce opposition from Democrats who call it a “Big, Ugly Betrayal.” With a $4.2 trillion projected impact on the national deficit, a blocked Medicaid tax provision, and wavering GOP senators, the bill’s future hangs in the balance. Can Trump rally the votes in time, or is this another legislative collapse in the making? #TrumpTaxBill #BigBeautifulBill #MedicaidCuts #GOP #SenateShowdown #July4Deadline #USPolitics #SNAPCuts #TrumpNews #Republicans #TaxReform #HealthcareCrisis #BidenVsTrump #CapitolHill #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.102~PR.274~
