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.

“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.”
More to come.
