Canada has walked back on its digital services tax “in anticipation” of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States, Ottawa announced Sunday night.

The move comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that he will be “terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada” in response to Ottawa’s decision to impose a digital services tax on American tech firms.

The statement from Canada said that Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump have agreed that they “will resume negotiations with a view towards agreeing on a deal by July 21, 2025.”
