WASHINGTON — The United States’ top trade official says the Trump administration isn’t going to give Canada credit for its trade concessions.
Jamieson Greer says he’s glad Canada dropped its digital services tax and “rolled back” its Online Streaming Act but they “don’t really get credit for doing something bad and then undoing it.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney took those actions in an attempt to move trade talks with the United States forward.
Washington and Mexico have launched formal negotiations on the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement on trade but no such talks have started with Ottawa.
