Trump threatens 100 percent tariff on any country that imposes tax on US tech firms

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. Digital services taxes are fees levied on tech firms by countries where their products are used.
