A U.S. senator says he’s asked Prime Minister Mark Carney to “move as quickly as possible” to repeal Canada’s Digital Services Tax (DST).

“I asked that Canada move as quickly as possible to get a law passed in Parliament making sure that it’s gone permanently,” said U.S. Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, following a July 21 meeting with Carney in Ottawa.
