The U.S. plans to enact new retaliatory tariffs on nations that tax digital goods from American internet companies, including those that tax App Store purchases.
The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has proposed tariffs that are approximately equal to taxes that various countries are requiring of international tech companies.
Bloomberg estimates that the total annual value of the duties reaches $880 million.
