Trump Threatens 100% Tariff on Countries That Tax U.S. Tech

Overview

• President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday, June 26, 2026, warning he would immediately impose a 100% tariff on all goods from any country that enacts a digital services tax targeting U.S. companies.
• Trump said the tariff would apply to “all and any products sent to the United States” from such countries and asserted it would override trade agreements whether signed or implemented.
• France has maintained a 3% digital services tax in place since 2019 and President Emmanuel Macron has said he will not revoke it, creating a direct flashpoint between Paris and Washington.
• The claim that a unilateral tariff could supersede trade pacts raises legal and diplomatic questions about U.S. authority under existing trade law and potential World Trade Organization challenges.
• Watch for immediate effects on exporters and consumers if tariffs are enacted, possible reciprocal measures by European governments, and whether the G7 talks produce steps to de-escalate the dispute.
