Trump Accuses Other Countries of Making Silicon Valley the ‘Piggy Bank’ of the World

Tariff-obsessed President Donald Trump is threatening to slap even more tariffs and restrictions on chip exports against countries that implement a digital services tax. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said on Monday that these taxes are “designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology” while giving a “complete pass to China’s largest Tech Companies.” A digital services tax is a tax on the revenues that large companies, like Google or Meta, earn from providing digital services.

Details on the enhanced MVNO deal are vague, but it likely means Boost will lean more on AT&T coverage; priority/QoS improvements are possible but unconfirmed.

Yesterday Donald Trump said that he had fired Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. My wording is advisable: He “said” that he had fired her. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems clear that he does not have the right to summarily fire Fed officials, certainly on tissue-thin allegations of mortgage fraud before she even went to the Fed. Cook has said that she will not resign. So at this point the immediate onus is on Jerome Powell, the Fed chairman. He has the right — I would
