U.S. President Donald Trump says he will impose a 100% tariff on goods from any European country that introduces a digital services tax (DST) on American tech companies. In statements posted on Truth Social, he argues that multiple European countries are considering such taxes and warns they would face the tariff if they proceed. Several reports say the threat is issued shortly after the European Union gives approval to a broader trade agreement with the United States negotiated previously. France 24 and other outlets report that the tariff threat could worsen tensions with Europe and may even put existing trade arrangements at risk. Other coverage characterizes the move as pressure aimed at persuading European governments to drop or avoid DST proposals. Across sources, the core claim is the same: Trump links the possibility of a unilateral, very large tariff to the adoption of a digital services tax targeting U.S. firms, raising the prospect of an escalation in U.S.-EU trade disputes if Europe moves forward.
