What happened?

  1. Trump said the tariff would supersede any previously negotiated trade deals, according to the reports.
  2. Gill said digital services taxes are non-discriminatory and apply to all large companies regardless of their origin, according to the reports.

President Donald Trump said in a social media post on Friday that any country imposing a tax on digital services from U.S. companies will immediately face a 100% tariff on goods sent to the United States, adding that it would supersede prior trade deals. European Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said unilateral measures targeting such policies are unjustified and that the EU will respond swiftly and decisively if pursued.
