WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States will restart trade negotiations with Canada immediately after Canada scrapped 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 about the talks restarting. PresidentDonald Trump asked the Canadians to take the tax off at the G7 meeting in Canada, he said. "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."
