President Donald Trump threatened to impose substantial tariffs and export restrictions on countries that adopt digital service taxes unless those measures are removed. Trump said digital taxes harm and discriminate against American technology while giving "a complete pass to China's largest Tech Companies." The threat surfaced days after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg raised concerns about digital levies during a private meeting with Trump. Trump posted on Truth Social that he will "stand up to Countries that attack our incredible American Tech Companies." U.S. officials have pressed trading partners and the European Union, arguing that digital taxes unfairly impact U.S. tech firms such as Meta, Amazon and Alphabet.
"I will stand up to Countries that attack our incredible American Tech Companies,"
"President Trump has repeatedly and consistently opposed digital services taxes and other unfair measures against American technology companies,"
"a complete pass to China's largest Tech Companies."
