President Trump on Friday threatened to impose a 100 percent tariff on any country that implements a digital services tax on American technology companies. He pointed to Europe, where he said countries have “been discussing the imminent implementation” or are “close to actually" putting such taxes in place. President Donald Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on goods imported from countries that impose digital services taxes, escalating pressure on European nations that just ratified a trade pact with the US.
"This TARIFF will supersede Trade Deals made with the Country, whether implemented, signed, or not," President Donald Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. President Trump says he would impose a 100% tariff on the goods of any European nation that decides to impose a digital service tax on U.S. tech companies.
