The European Union has pushed back against President Donald Trump‘s latest threat to impose tariffs on countries with digital regulations. On Monday, Trump warned on Truth Social that he would hit nations with “substantial additional tariffs” and restrict U.S. chip exports if they don’t remove what he calls discriminatory digital rules targeting American tech companies.
Trump’s post specifically threatened countries with digital taxes, legislation, rules, or regulations, saying they “are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology.” He added that such policies “give a complete pass to China’s largest Tech Companies” and demanded immediate action. The president warned that America and American tech companies “are neither the ‘piggy bank’ nor the ‘doormat’ of the World any longer.”
