By David Lawder, David Ljunggren and Susan Heavey WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly cut off trade talks with Canada on Friday over its tax targeting U.S. technology firms, saying that it was a "blatant attack" and that he would set a new tariff rate on Canadian goods within the next week.

The president says he’s immediately suspending trade talks with our neighbor to the north over its plans to continue with its tax on digital services.

The president said he would cease negotiations and impose new tariffs because of Canada’s imminent, new digital services taxes.
