In a late Monday Truth Social post, Trump slammed foreign governments for weaponizing legislation to discriminate unfairly against American tech companies and in favor of Communist Chinese tech companies. For too long, dictatorial nations’ companies have received favorable treatment while U.S. companies have been international punching bags, according to Trump.

Trump wrote, “As the President of the United States, I will stand up to Countries that attack our incredible American Tech Companies. Digital Taxes, Digital Services Legislation, and Digital Markets Regulations are all designed to harm, or discriminate against, American Technology.”

For example, the European Union’s Digital Services Act and the United Kingdom’s Online Safety Act are among the laws that governments have used to pressure American tech companies to censor free speech, provide personal user data to foreign governments, and take other pernicious actions. The problematic and apparently anti-competitive laws referred to by Trump also disadvantage the American companies in other ways, as Trump highlighted.

Tariffs are not the only weapons EuroKanders have wielded against American companies that dare to be successful.
