Canada decided to cancel its digital services tax targeting American tech companies to revive trade talks with President Trump before its scheduled start.
President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are set to resume negotiations to finalize a trade agreement by July 21.
The digital tax, aimed at firms earning digital services revenue above $20 million from Canadian users, would have impacted U.S. tech giants like Amazon, Meta, Google, and Apple.
Canada's Finance Minister will introduce legislation to retract the Digital Services Tax Act after facing criticism from the U.S., with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thanking Canada for scrapping the tax.
