OTTAWA — With Canada’s digital services tax now scrapped, a free trade deal between Canada and the Unites States is just a question of time, U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told National Post on Monday.
In an exclusive interview, Hoekstra said he’s not sure if trade talks between the North American neighbours can be resolved by July 21, a target agreed to by the two leaders when they met in mid-June in Kananaskis, Alta. But the ambassador said he’s very confident that a deal will get done.
