Donald Trump sent a message to countries that “attack our incredible American Tech Companies.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With this TRUTH, I put all Countries with Digital Taxes, Legislation, Rules, or Regulations, on notice that unless these discriminatory actions are removed, I, as President of the United States, will impose substantial additional Tariffs on that Country’s Exports to the U.S.A.”
As the President of the United States, I will stand up to Countries that attack our incredible American Tech Companies. Digital Taxes, Digital Services Legislation, and Digital Markets Regulations are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology. They also, outrageously, give a complete pass to China’s largest Tech Companies. This must end, and end NOW! With this TRUTH, I put all Countries with Digital Taxes, Legislation, Rules, or Regulations, on notice that unless these discriminatory actions are removed, I, as President of the United States, will impose substantial additional Tariffs on that Country’s Exports to the U.S.A., and institute Export restrictions on our Highly Protected Technology and Chips. America, and American Technology Companies, are neither the “piggy bank” nor the “doormat” of the World any longer. Show respect to America and our amazing Tech Companies or, consider the consequences! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Digital service taxes have been a major issue in trade negotiations for the Trump administration.
Trump told Canada in June he would cut off trade talks over the tax.
Trump has long sought to pressure U.S. trade partners into dropping the taxes, which are typically structured to apply only to the world’s largest and most established tech companies, like Meta, Alphabet and Amazon. They also happen to be American companies.
Digital service taxes have already proven to be a potential make-or-break issue for Trump in his administration’s ongoing trade negotiations.
In June, he declared that he would cut off all trade talks with Canada over the tax.
When Ottawa quickly rescinded its tax just before it was set to turn on, the White House crowed that Canada had “caved” to pressure.
Trump is not backing down.
