In the event that countries do not refuse the practice of introducing tax on digital services, Washington will introduce additional tariffs for their export. This was stated by US President Donald Trump on his social network.
The American leader emphasized that as the head of state would withstand the countries “attacking” American technological companies. According to him, digital taxes, legislation on digital services and regulation of digital markets have been developed with the aim of causing damage or discriminating American technologies.
Trump noted that these measures do not create any obstacles to the largest technological companies in China, and also declared the need to put an end to this.
“I inform all the countries introducing digital taxes. So far, these discriminatory measures will not be canceled, I, as the US President, will introduce significant additional tariffs for these countries to America and limit access to our highly protected technology and chips and American technological companies are no longer a “piggy bank” or “rug” for the whole world and our incredible technological companies. The head of the White House.
