On Friday, President Donald Trump announced his intention to sign a memorandum concerning digital taxes, though he abstained from sharing specifics.
According to a report from Bloomberg News, the memorandum potentially paves the way for the U.S. to impose levies as a retaliatory measure against digital services taxes that certain countries have enacted targeting American technology giants.
This development signals a possible escalation in global trade tensions, specifically within the tech sector, as the U.S. government seeks responses to international taxation efforts on major American firms.
