POLITICO Europe @politico.eu · 11/07/2025🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has dropped plans to levy a tax on digital companies, a move that hands victory to Donald Trump and U.S. tech giants like Apple and Meta. Full story: ow.ly/ECtz50Wowk5 267058
F.D. Shook III @fds3rd.bsky.social · 11/07/2025I would be willing to bet that the plans will return to the table quickly if Trump insists on levying heavy unreasonable tariffs on the EU. Trump is by no means the only one who can switch directions midstream. The plans are off the table until they are not. 000

Antrei Speranski @antrei.com · 12/07/2025Victory to Trump or protection of EU citizens from further price hikes? Trump's tariff policy is directly harming Americans and secondarily the trade partner countries... Why are we expecting for other countries to follow suit 000
Tariffs are Taxes @jmatsby.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Trump fighting for the big tech giants while Americans pay the prices of his tariffs. It’s a betrayal of anyone hoping he would fight for common Americans and lower prices. 000

bendav.bsky.social @bendav.bsky.social · 11/07/2025The Commission shot itself in the foot with a dubious state aid case against Apple. It overstepped the bounds its remit, and its reputation for good faith was damaged in the US and elsewhere. Apple found a loophole in Irish and Dutch tax law and used it, and Ireland was more than OK with that. 111

brendanl2011.bsky.social @brendanl2011.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Very bad move. Carney tried that, and it seems to have only encouraged Trump to push harder and impose 35% tariffs 0100
Mads Øbro @madsobro.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Canada did the same and got nothing in return. Stupid... Better to double the planned tax and open negotiations for a possible reduction. 130
