Canada’s trade drama: From digital tax to dairy fights | The Current

From CBC News.

Canada-U.S. trade took a dramatic turn when Donald Trump walked away from negotiations over Canada’s digital services tax — only for Prime Minister Mark Carney to scrap the tax days later. Guest host Janyce McGregor speaks with trade experts about the retreat and the looming July 21 deadline.

We also hear from cheesemakers and a cattle rancher about the stakes for supply management; the new international trade minister on Canada’s search for new allies; and a trade consultant who explains why politicians lie about trade and how to cut through the spin.
