In 2019, the USTR initiated separate probes into the tax systems for France, Italy, Spain, India and other countries, with the U.S. concluding at the time that the taxes were discriminatory and disproportionately hurt American firms.<\/p>\n<p>Some nations have since withdrawn their digital services tax plans and instead joined a global negotiation for a minimum tax on tech companies \u2014 but those talks have stalled repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Computer and Communications Industry Association, approximately 30 countries have adopted or proposed DSTs in recent years, including other major U.S. trading partners such as the U.K. and Canada. Canada\u2019s tax took effect in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"js-widget-content article-content__widget-group article-content__widget-group--content-slot16 article-content__widget-group--newsletter-slot\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-widget__new-story-page fp-headlinenews background--primary-light-gradient\" aria-labelledby=\"FinancialPostTopStories7442486142500360604126378482204672\" data-account-id=\"b9d3df2fccd108b5eff3c44f573b2cd6\" data-aqa=\"widget-newsletter\" data-newsletter=\"single\" data-newsletter-component=\"\" data-target-list=\"FP_HeadlineNews\" data-widget=\"newsletter\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-new-story-page-template\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__header__new-story-page\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__banner__new-story-page\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Top Stories\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/18.0.4\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Top Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__text__new-story-page\">Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__body__new-story-page\">\n<div class=\"js-replace-main__new-story-page\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__disclaimer__new-story-page text-size--tiny\">By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-submit-success\" hidden=\"\" id=\"submitSuccessFP_HeadlineNews\">\n<p>Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__text__new-story-page\">A welcome email is on its way.

The two sides negotiated a truce, under which France would have withdrawn the tax after global rules on taxing digital multinationals came into effect. Those negotiations, however, never concluded.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. retaliation over digital taxes threatens to roil already tense relations with France and other European countries already at odds with Washington over Trump\u2019s push to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and his allies have railed against what he sees as unfair practices from Europe over trade, taxation and efforts to counter mis- or dis-information on social media that he says target U.S. tech companies. More broadly, Trump\u2019s plans highlight how in his second term he has sought to employ tariffs to reshape global trade ties and force companies to move production to the U.S.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_4\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment7471629542657887451436058301956096\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 4<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-4\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90],[300,250]]\" data-ad-loc=\"4\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-4\" style=\"--desktopHeight:250px;--mobileHeight:250px\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--story\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>The president has already imposed a blanket 10 per cent tax on imports from China, ordered \u2014 and then paused \u2014 25 per cent tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, unveiled plans for a 25 per cent levy on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum and directed his administration to propose a round of reciprocal tariffs for each trading partner.
