Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs on Europe Over Digital Services Tax

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a warning to European nations, threatening to impose 100 percent tariffs on their imports if they implement a digital services tax. The threat, made on Friday, targets any country that decides to move forward with taxing American digital services. Trump indicated that the United States is prepared to take these measures even if it results in the cancellation of existing trade agreements.[1][2]

The president delivered the warning directly through a post on social media, outlining a swift economic response to any such tax policies. Trump wrote that the statement should serve as representation of his stance on the matter, promising immediate retaliation against any country that imposes a digital services tax.[1][2]

In his social media post, Trump specified the scope of the potential tariffs, writing, "Please let this statement serve to represent that any Country that imposes such a Tax will immediately be met with a 100% TARIFF on any and all Goods sent to the United States of America." The proposed 100 percent tariff would apply broadly to all goods imported into the U.S. from the offending countries.[1][2]

Darren Jones backs Burnham economic plans to reassure bond markets

Andy Burnham is set to take over PMQs from Keir Starmer in mid-July, with Darren Jones ruling himself out of the Labour leadership race and publicly backing Burnham’s economic plans, which include only **“a little bit more” borrowing** under a credible framework.[2][3] For creators and political brands, this means a likely **smooth leadership transition**, a Burnham-led government that is signalling **bond-market-friendly economic stability**, and a tightening window to shape narratives around Labour’s new economic direction before he formally becomes prime minister.[2][3] As a next step, creators should prepare an updated content angle or series focused on **Burnham’s economic agenda and market reaction**, timed to the leadership handover in mid-July so they can respond quickly as details firm up.[2][3]
