Trump threatens Europe with tariffs over digital tax

On 26 June 2026, Trump threatened a 100% tariff on countries that impose a digital services tax, with several reports specifying European countries and EU members. Spain's El Mundo linked the threat to European Parliament pressure to tax big technology companies and raise up to 43 billion. Russian outlets wrote that the tariffs would apply to all goods.

CNN reported that Europe did not flinch at the threat.
