US President Donald Trump said the countries that have set digital taxes may encounter additional export tariffs to the United States. He emphasized that such measures will be applied if the states do not abandon the current legislation in this area.
Many countries, especially in Europe, have already introduced taxes on digital services that are affected by large American companies, including Google, Apple and Amazon. These measures have repeatedly become the subject of disputes between the United States and its trading partners even under previous administrations.
Trump claims that digital taxes create an advantage for Chinese technological firms and are primarily directed against American corporations. He also hinted at the possibility of restrictions on the export of American technologies and semiconductors, if the situation does not change.
