A pair of senior U.S. senators is urging the Biden administration to get tough with Canada for 'flouting' obligations to its North American trade partners.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau puts his hand on United States President Joe Biden at the North American Leaders Summit in Mexico City, Mexico, on Jan. 10, 2023. A pair of senior U.S. senators is urging the Biden administration to get tough with Canada for "flouting" obligations to its North American trade partners.
It also describes Canada's planned digital services tax as discriminatory and raises similar concerns about new legislation to regulate online streaming and news. The letter comes after meetings this week in San Diego between U.S., Canadian and Mexican trade emissaries, as well as the North American Leaders' Summit in Mexico City earlier this month.
"Three years later, it is disappointing that Canada and Mexico have failed to come into full compliance with the agreement -- and, in some cases, have flouted their obligations," the senators write.
