A top adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump says the White House will resume negotiations with Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s climbdown on Ottawa’s digital services tax.

Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, confirmed to Fox News on Monday morning that trade talks will restart.

“Oh, absolutely,” he said, when asked if the two sides would immediately resume negotiations.

He said Mr. Trump raised the DST with Mr. Carney at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., earlier this month. The President then threatened last Friday that, if the tax remained in place, he would break off trade talks and impose more tariffs on Canada in seven days.
