Trump posted on social media: As the President of the United States, I will fight against countries attacking our incredible American technology companies. Digital taxes, digital services legislation, and digital market regulations are all designed to harm or discriminate against the American technology industry. This situation must end, and it must end now! Based on this fact, I warn all countries imposing digital taxes on American technology companies, enacting relevant legislation, rules, or regulations, that unless these discriminatory measures are lifted, as the President of the United States, I will impose high tariffs on goods exported from that country to America, and implement export restrictions on our high-tech products and chips. The United States and our technology companies are no longer the world's "ATM" or "stepping stone." Either respect America and our outstanding technology companies, or face the consequences! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
