After U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly announced an end to trade talks with Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government will continue to engage with the country on trade.

Trump announced on Truth Social on June 27 that he was ending all trade negotiations with Canada because of its plan to impose a Digital Services Tax (DST) that would impact U.S. tech companies. Trump said that because of the “egregious” tax, he would terminate all discussions on trade and “let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business.”
