> Face it: some form of taxation was going to appear no matter what. It's inevitable. And a retaliation from the US, via a similar trade tariff that exclusively targets EU companies, is also likely inevitable. Lets the trade wars being. I wonder who will come out ahead. > It also isn't a "shield from competition" Imagine if the US added a 20 dollar champagne tax. By definition, "real" champagne can literally only come from the Provence of champagne, France. But technically the law applies to US companies, perhaps ones that own a vineyard in France. Would you be OK with this theoretical tax? It is totally fair, and not targeted against anyone specific country! Hopefully we will get more "fair" taxes like these in the upcoming trade wars.
