”Digital taxes, legislation on digital services and regulations of digital markets are all designed to harm or discriminate against American technology”, writes Trump in a post on the platform Truth Social.
The President is now urging countries to change their legislation in favor of American technology companies.
”If these discriminatory actions do not cease, I, as the President of the US, will impose significant additional tariffs on that country's export to the US and introduce export restrictions on our protected technology and our chips”.
Donald Trump is addressing ”everyone” in his statement - and thus does not mention any specific countries.
The warning comes a week after the US and the EU in a joint statement agreed to ”address unjustified trade barriers” together. At the same time, the EU has stated elsewhere that legislative changes regarding digital services are not current, reports Bloomberg.
