Trump vows 100% tariffs on nations taxing US digital services

President Trump warned that any country imposing a digital services tax on US tech firms would face a 100% tariff on all US-bound imports, signaling a potential US-EU trade confrontation as Europe contemplates such levies. Brussels defended digital taxes as non-discriminatory and warned of a swift response, raising the risk of a broader clash over tech regulation. The threat comes ahead of a July 4 deadline related to a tariff deal capping EU exports and follows past US investigations under Section 301; the EU has outlined a tech-sovereignty roadmap amid these disputes.

Trump vows steep EU tariffs by Independence Day if zero-tariff pledge stalls

Trump warned he would raise EU tariffs to much higher levels by July 4 unless the bloc drops its levies to zero, tying the move to the US–EU trade deal that envisions tariff reductions (and had previously floated threats up to 30% on some goods and a 15% tariff under the agreement). The deal still needs approval from EU lawmakers and all 27 member states. Separately, a US trade court ruled Trump’s 10% global tariffs were not justified under US trade law, though the ruling does not automatically block them; negotiations were ongoing with another round planned.

Trump presses 25% tariff on EU cars unless US production rises

President Donald Trump said he will impose a 25% tariff on EU cars and trucks entering the United States next week unless European manufacturers move production to U.S. plants; shipments manufactured in the United States would face no tariff. The move upends last year's trade deal reducing tariffs on many EU imports and heightens transatlantic tensions, drawing warnings from EU officials and automakers about potential damage to the European auto industry.

Trump to hike EU car tariffs to 25%, widening US-EU trade rift

President Trump said he will raise tariffs on cars and trucks imported from the EU to 25% next week, up from 15%, accusing the bloc of not complying with a fully agreed trade deal. He urged European carmakers to shift production to U.S. plants to avoid tariffs and highlighted heavy investment in U.S. manufacturing, signaling a sharp escalation in US-EU trade tensions amid stalled talks on steel and aluminum. The car tariffs operate under a different legal process than the previously ruled Liberation Day tariffs by the Supreme Court.
