Trump threatens 100% tariff on any country taxing US tech giants

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on imports from countries that tax digital services from American companies. This action would supersede any existing trade deals. The warning comes amid ongoing tensions over digital services regulations and trade policies between the US and European nations, which currently include France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Austria, and Turkey.

  • US President Donald Trump threatened 100% tariffs on imports from countries imposing digital services taxes on American companies.
  • These tariffs would override any previously agreed trade deals.
  • Several European countries, including France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Austria, and Turkey, currently have digital services taxes that affect US tech giants.
  • The US has previously clashed with the EU over regulations like the Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act, arguing they unfairly target American companies.
  • France has been actively pursuing ‘digital sovereignty,’ including replacing US software with domestic alternatives.
