Summary
US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on all exports from any country that implements a digital services tax on American technology companies. In a statement, Trump specifically warned European nations, which have been discussing such a tax targeting firms like Google, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. The tariff would apply immediately to all goods shipped to the US, overriding any existing trade agreements.
Trump's threat escalates a long-standing dispute over digital taxation. He previously warned of 100% tariffs on French wine unless Paris dropped its digital tax. The European Union has advocated for a global solution to tax the digital economy, as endorsed by G7 finance ministers. Canada scrapped its digital services tax last year after Trump threatened to cut off trade talks.
