Trump warns of 100% tariffs over proposed European digital service taxes

President Trump said countries that impose digital service taxes on U.S. companies would immediately face a 100% tariff on all goods they send to the United States, escalating a dispute over European efforts to tax large American technology firms. In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said numerous European countries were discussing the imminent implementation of a digital services tax on American companies and warned that any country that imposed such a tax would be met with the tariff. The threat underscores a broader transatlantic clash over how digital business should be taxed and whether such levies disproportionately target U.S. tech companies.
