It might not be a coincidence that POTUS wrote yesterday on Truth Social that 100% tariffs would be imposed on any country proceeding with taxing US' digital services.
> Truth Social that 100% tariffs would be imposed
Didn’t he already lost that case? And, all the other countries know that.
Pure grift.
Empty threat conditional on something that will never happen.
Most of the rest of the world is too heavily dependent on US digital services to tax them more heavily. From social media to hyperscaler's clouds the US is dominant and stuff will just stop working if they get taxed. There would be a huge pushback from businesses if their government increased the cost of things like AWS.
Edit: edit to say tax more heavily
