Too much hullabaloo for nothing. What is it that the American companies are doing now that will be accelerated by this trade agreement? 

Methinks this is just sensational reporting without much meat in it...

Good afternoon listers,

On Today's (Oct 4th 2021) Business Daily  ()What//how does is say/impact about digital taxes (mostly on foreign internet services) and Data Protection Act?
