United States President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100 percent tariff on any country that implements a digital service tax on U.S. tech companies, stating these new tariffs would supersede any previous agreements. The warning was issued via a Truth Social post on Friday, with Europe identified as a potential target.

This aggressive stance is the latest in Trump's efforts to counter international attempts to regulate American technology giants. He specifically cited European countries that are nearing the implementation of such taxes.

Trump wrote in his post, "Numerous European Countries have been discussing the imminent implementation of a Digital Services Tax on American Companies. Some of these Countries are close to actually doing this." He added, "Please let this statement serve to represent that any Country that imposes such a Tax will immediately be met with a 100 percent TARIFF on any and all Goods sent to the United States of America."

The Republican leader has consistently opposed what he perceives as discriminatory taxes or regulations targeting U.S. tech firms. Last August, he characterized such measures as being "designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology."

Trump has maintained a close relationship with the U.S. technology sector, promising reduced domestic regulations and governmental support for emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. His administration has also viewed content moderation policies in European nations as a form of censorship.

Earlier this month, the European Union and the U.S. finalized a deal to cap tariffs on most EU products at 15 percent. However, this agreement did not address digital service taxes. Trump later accused the EU of not adhering to this deal and set a July 4 deadline for reaching a new agreement on maximum tariffs.

Despite the prior agreement, Trump's recent post emphasized that the 100 percent retaliatory tariff for digital service taxes would "supersede" any other deal, regardless of its implementation status, and would take immediate effect.

This development follows previous trade tensions, including a Supreme Court setback that challenged Trump's protectionist trade strategy. Additionally, a separate analysis indicated that Trump's tariffs cost American households more than they initially saved.
