androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-21 06:42:37

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.
