Trump says he is ending trade talks with Canada over digital services tax

U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly broke off trade talks with Canada Friday afternoon.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is ending trade talks with Canada and will impose additional tariffs within a week in retaliation for Ottawa’s digital services tax.

Mr. Trump abruptly announced on Friday afternoon that he was walking away from the bargaining table in a seeming bid to ramp up pressure in the negotiations as the clock ticks down to his and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s self-imposed mid-July deadline for a deal.
