US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 100% tariffs on European countries that implement a digital services tax on American companies. Multiple outlets report that Trump makes the warning in the context of discussions among “numerous” European countries about adopting such a levy, including references to potential near-term implementation in some places. Trump says the tariffs would apply even if it requires the US to cancel or override existing trade agreements, according to reporting that he links the new tariff threat to earlier negotiations. Several sources also note the move comes amid broader efforts to reach a trade deal between the US and Europe, with some outlets describing progress on a wider agreement. Other coverage indicates European officials defend the digital-tax approach and signal readiness to respond if the US takes measures. The overall picture across sources is an escalation of US–Europe trade tensions tied to the question of how to tax digital services, with Trump’s threat framed as a retaliatory measure aimed at countries taxing US firms.
