"We don't like it when they target American companies. Because basically you're talking about our great American companies, and whether we like those companies or don't like them, they're American companies, and they're the top companies in the world."
"The UK did it, and a couple of other countries did it, and they think they're going to make an easy buck. That's why they've all taken advantage of our country."
"The Digital Services Tax is not some smash-and-grab on 'great American companies.' It is a 2 percent levy on the UK revenues of the largest online platforms, targeting search engines and social media firms that make money from British users."

Donald Trump has threatened to impose a significant tariff on the UK if it does not eliminate its Digital Services Tax, which targets large US tech companies. He criticized the UK for what he perceives as targeting American firms to profit from them. The Digital Services Tax is a 2 percent levy on revenues from large online platforms that generate income from UK users. It is designed for major companies, not startups, and raised approximately £800 million last year from firms like Amazon and Google.
