NEW YORK, June 30 (Xinhua) -- The trade talks between the United States and Canada will resume immediately following Canada's cancellation of digital service tax (DST), said White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on Monday.

Hassett said U.S. President Donald Trump asked Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to "take the DST tax off" at the Group of Seven (G7) meeting in Canada earlier this month.

"It's something that they've studied, now they've agreed to. And for sure, that means that we can get back to the negotiations," Hassett said in an interview with Fox News.

Canada's Minister of Finance and National Revenue Francois-Philippe Champagne announced Sunday that Canada will rescind its DST as it prepares for a broader trade agreement with the United States.

The tax, which was designed to take effect on Monday, would impose a 3-percent levy on the revenue of U.S. multinational companies like Amazon, Google and Meta earned from Canadian users.

Trump announced Friday that the United States would terminate all trade talks with Canada due to Canada's digital services tax on U.S. tech companies. ■
