Trump says he is cutting off trade talks with Canada6 hours ago Share Save Natalie Sherman Business reporter, BBC News Share SaveAFP/GettyUS President Donald Trump has said he is cutting off trade talks with Canada "immediately" as the country looks to start enforcing a tax policy targeting big tech companies. The latest move, which he announced on social media, comes as the neighbouring nations had been working to agree a trade deal by mid-July. Both countries have imposed tariffs on each other's goods after Trump sparked a trade war earlier this year and threatened to annex Canada using "economic force". "We are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately," he wrote on social media. Canadian officials had said they expected to address the issue as part of trade talks with the US.
