President Trump has threatened to implement a 100% tariff on nations imposing a digital services tax on U.S. companies. He stated that any country proceeding with such a tax would face immediate import duties, overriding existing trade agreements. Approximately half of OECD European members have proposed or enacted similar taxes.
Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, is set to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding his financial dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. Senator Ron Wyden has questioned Black’s payments exceeding $170 million for services purportedly related to tax advice and estate planning, amid ongoing scrutiny over Epstein’s criminal activities.
