US President Donald Trump warned with ‘Extra duties’ In their products, countries with digital taxes, if they do not abolish the relevant legislation.

Sources said earlier at the Reuters agency that the Trump government is considering imposing sanctions on the European Union or on officials of Member States responsible for the implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Many countries, especially in Europe, have imposed taxes on the revenue of sales of digital service providers, including Alphabet’s Google, Meta’s Facebook, Apple and Amazon. This issue is a source of commercial friction for many US governments.

“With this post on Truth Social, I warn all countries that apply digital taxes, legislation, rules or regulations that, if these biased actions are not abolished, I, as President of the United States, will impose significant additional duties on our country’s exports to the US and I will establish its exports to the US.Trump said in a post on social media.

In the post, Trump claimed that the legislation in question ‘Was designed to hurt or create discrimination against American technology’ And that it gave advantage to companies from China, a US competitor in the field of technology.

Trump has also threatened to impose duties on countries such as Canada and France in the past due to disputes related to digital services.

In February, Trump ordered his trading officer to repeat investigations to impose duties on imports from countries imposing taxes on digital services on US technology companies.
