    More potential Trump tariffs.

    President Trump signed a memo to have his administration “consider responsive actions like tariffs to combat the digital service taxes (DSTs), fines, practices, and policies that foreign governments levy on American companies.”

    As Reuters notes, “the digital service taxes aimed at dominant US tech giants including Alphabet’s Google, Meta’s Facebook, Apple and Amazon have been a longstanding trade irritant for multiple US administrations.”

    The AP is suing the Trump administration.

    The administration has blocked the Associated Press from attending some events, including at the Oval Office, because of the publication’s policy to use the name Gulf of Mexico “while acknowledging” the Gulf of America name.

    “The press and all people in the United States have the right to choose their own words and not be retaliated against by the government,” reads the AP’s lawsuit, filed by attorneys from the Ballard Spahr law firm. “The Constitution does not allow the government to control speech. Allowing such government control and retaliation to stand is a threat to every American’s freedom.”
