US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on all goods from any country that maintains a digital services tax on American technology companies.
The warning, issued via a post on Truth Social on Friday, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing trade dispute between Washington and European capitals over the taxation of digital giants.
The threat directly targets jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom and members of the European Union that have implemented or are considering similar levies.
By expanding the scope of potential tariffs to encompass all goods from offending nations, the administration is signaling a willingness to use broad trade barriers as leverage in regulatory negotiations.
This approach contrasts with previous targeted tariffs on specific sectors, suggesting a more aggressive posture toward international tax policy.
Markets are likely to scrutinize the exposure of US exporters to these regions, particularly in sectors where American firms hold significant market share.
