EU approves counter-tariffs on U.S. goods, says trade deal within reach
BRUSSELS — The European Commission said on Thursday a negotiated trade solution with the United States is within reach - while EU members voted to approve counter-tariffs on 93 billion euros (US$109 billion) of U.S. goods in case the talks collapse. The 27-nation bloc's executive has repeatedly said its primary focus is on reaching a deal to avert 30 per cent U.S. tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will apply on August 1. 'Our focus is on finding a negotiated outcome with the U.S. ... We believe such an outcome is within reach,' an EU spokesperson said in response to reporters' questions. Alongside negotiations, the Commission has pressed on with plans for potential countermeasures, merging two packages of proposed tariffs of 21 billion euros and 72 billion euros into a single list and submitting this to EU members for approval. The rate would be up to 30 per cent, designed to mirror U.S. tariffs, EU sources said. Diplomats said EU countries overwhelmingly approved the measures on Thursday, which the Commission later confirmed. The first package of countermeasures would enter force on August 7, with tariffs on soybeans and almonds delayed until December 1, an EU official said. The second package would enter force in two stages on September 7 and February 7. So far the EU has held back from imposing any countermeasures, despite Trump's tariffs already covering 70 per cent of EU exports. EU member states authorized the first package of countermeasures in April, but these were immediately suspended to allow time for negotiations. Closing on deal The EU and United States now appear to be heading towards a possible trade deal, according to EU diplomats, which would result in a broad 15 per cent tariff on EU goods imported into the U.S., mirroring a framework agreement Washington struck with Japan. Trump would still need to take any final decision. The White House said discussions of a deal should be considered 'speculation.' Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro told Bloomberg News the report from the EU should be taken with 'a grain of salt.' French Finance Minister Eric Lombard and Italian Industry Minister Adolfo Urso told a joint press conference in Paris they were not aware of a draft agreement, Urso adding he would only pass judgment when one was reached. There was little information available about what the EU would offer the United States to secure a deal. One EU diplomat said the bloc was not looking at a pledge of investment in the United States, as Japan has agreed. Another said the EU might reduce some of its own duties. Its current import duty for cars is 10 per cent. Under the outlines of the potential deal, the 15 per cent rate could apply to sectors including cars and pharmaceuticals and would not be added to long-standing U.S. duties, which average just under five per cent. There could also be exemptions for sectors such as aircraft, lumber as well as some medicines and agricultural products, which would not face tariffs, diplomats said. Washington does not, however, appear willing to lower its 50 per cent tariff on steel. --- Reporting by Philip Blenkinsop and Benoit Van Overstraeten, additional reporting by Julia Payne and Leigh Thomas; editing by Tomasz Janowski, Peter Graff and Hugh Lawson

Business Anywhere Empowers Canadians to Launch U.S. Companies Remotely in 2025
In an era defined by remote work and digital-first businesses, a growing number of Canadians are skipping the traditional routes to entrepreneurship—and looking south instead. With economic uncertainty, rising tax burdens, and a desire for international expansion, an increasing number of founders are registering U.S. companies from the comfort of their homes in Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary. It's not a trend anymore. It's a movement. And for entrepreneurs who understand the value of efficiency, international flexibility, and borderless operations, launching a U.S.-based business remotely has never been more accessible—or more strategic. Why Canadians Are Incorporating in the U.S. Let's be clear: Canada has a stable and business-friendly climate. But it also has complex regulations, provincial red tape, and corporate tax rates that make growth less attractive for lean, digital startups. By contrast, U.S. states like Wyoming and New Mexico offer something radically different: No state income tax Minimal annual fees and compliance Enhanced business privacy A business infrastructure optimized for remote, online-first founders For digital entrepreneurs—whether they're selling on Amazon, building a SaaS product, consulting remotely, or running a global e-commerce brand—registering a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the U.S. unlocks an entirely new level of speed, access, and financial freedom. 'But I'm Not American—Can I Still Register a U.S. Company?' Short answer: Yes. Foreigners—including Canadians—can fully own a U.S. LLC. There's no requirement to be a U.S. citizen or resident. You don't even need a U.S. address (a virtual mailbox solves that—more on that in a moment). With the right structure, you can form an LLC in a state like Wyoming or New Mexico in under 10 minutes, get a U.S. business bank account, and be up and running faster than if you were navigating provincial incorporation in Canada. Even better? You can do it all remotely with platforms like BusinessAnywhere, which offers a one-stop shop for company registration, EIN applications, virtual mailboxes, online notary, and even compliance alerts—all optimized for digital entrepreneurs and non-residents. A Real Example: Building an E-Commerce Brand From Vancouver Let's say you're based in Vancouver and want to launch a niche e-commerce store targeting U.S. consumers. You plan to sell on Shopify and Amazon, source products from overseas, and market through TikTok and Meta Ads. If you form a U.S. LLC: You'll appear as a domestic business to U.S. consumers and partners. You'll be able to open a U.S. bank account (critical for Stripe, PayPal, Amazon, etc.). You can access U.S.-based suppliers, dropshippers, and warehousing services without foreign transaction friction. Your brand can scale internationally—without the drag of cross-border logistics or Canadian tax compliance on your U.S. sales. With BusinessAnywhere, you'd register a Wyoming LLC, set up a virtual mailbox to handle all mail and official documents, get your EIN (Employer Identification Number), and open a U.S. bank account. No flights. No paperwork nightmares. No waiting in line at Service Canada. You get U.S. infrastructure without leaving your home office. The Role of the Virtual Mailbox A virtual mailbox gives you a real U.S. business address—something most banks, platforms, and vendors require. It's not a PO box. It's a professional business address where your mail is received, scanned, and uploaded into your digital dashboard. This matters for compliance, reputation, and operations. If you're trying to open a bank account, file taxes, or work with a U.S. partner, they'll want to see a U.S. address. A virtual mailbox solves that instantly—legally and seamlessly. Here's a more detailed guide on what a virtual mailbox is and how it works for remote entrepreneurs. What About Taxes? This is where the advice of a cross-border tax advisor is essential. But in short, if you have no physical presence in the U.S., and you're not a U.S. person, a U.S. LLC with no 'Effectively Connected Income' (ECI) may not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, you'll still need to file an annual return and a few compliance documents. It's straightforward—but mandatory. On the Canadian side, the CRA may still want a slice depending on where you reside and where your mind and management take place. This is why more founders are also exploring international tax residency, or at the very least, optimizing their structure to avoid double taxation. (Platforms like BusinessAnywhere do not offer tax advice, but they do connect you with specialists who can help.) Who Is This Really For? Remote business owners. Digital nomads. Canadian side hustlers who want to scale across borders. Founders who want more control over their income and compliance footprint. If you're using platforms like Upwork, Amazon FBA, Shopify, or Stripe—and your customers are mostly in the U.S.—it's smart to consider registering where your business operates. Not where your passport says you live. A Post-Geographic Business Era We're living through the rise of the post-geographic business model. No matter where you were born or live, your company can be registered in the U.S., operated remotely, and serve customers globally. Your banking, compliance, communication, and operations can all be handled online, from anywhere. The idea of 'home country' is becoming irrelevant for smart founders. What matters now is where your company is structured, how it's taxed, and what jurisdiction gives you the most freedom. That's the world BusinessAnywhere is building for. Final Thoughts Whether you're a Canadian entrepreneur seeking new markets, or a digital-first founder looking to future-proof your business, launching a U.S. company remotely is no longer a luxury—it's a strategic move. If you want to stay competitive in today's market, your business structure should reflect your ambition—not your postal code. Ready to take the next step? can help you register your company, get your EIN, and start running a lean, remote-first operation today.
