Trump threatens additional tariffs on goods from countries with digital taxes

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday threatened countries that have digital taxes with "subsequent additional tariffs" on their goods, if those nations do not remove such legislation.

"With this TRUTH, I put all Countries with Digital Taxes, Legislation, Rules, or Regulations, on notice that unless these discriminatory actions are removed, I, as President of the United States, will impose substantial additional Tariffs on that Country's Exports to the U.S.A., and institute Export restrictions on our Highly Protected Technology and Chips," Trump said in a social media post.
