WASHINGTON, June 30 (Reuters) – The United States will immediately resume trade negotiations with Canada after Canada eliminated its digital services tax targeting U.S. technology firms, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Monday.
“Absolutely,” Hassett said on Fox News when asked if the talks would restart. President Donald Trump requested that Canada remove the tax during the G7 meeting in Canada, he explained. “It’s something that they’ve studied, now they’ve agreed to, and for sure, that means that we can get back to the negotiations.”
