U-S President Donald Trump says he is immediately ending all trade talks with Canada.

The sudden termination is over Canada's plan to go ahead with its digital services tax on big U-S tech companies that do business here.

The tax is set to take effect Monday but would be retroactive for the past three years, leaving U-S companies with atwo-billion-dollar U-S bill due at the end of the month.

Trump says Washington will notify Canada about new tariff rates within the next week.
