On the 1st, European Commission Executive Vice President for Technology Sovereignty and related matters, Virolainen, stated on social media that the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act are the EU’s "sovereign legislation," and the EU will continue to implement these digital laws.
She said that the relevant digital laws are non-discriminatory and apply to all online platforms operating in the EU.
She wrote to the chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, Jordan, reiterating that the EU's digital legislation does not have extraterritorial effect, but as long as a company's relevant services are provided within the EU, regardless of where its headquarters are located, the services will be subject to EU regulation.
On August 26, U.S. President Trump posted on social media warning all countries and regions implementing digital taxes, digital laws, or digital regulation that unless they withdraw "discriminatory measures against U.S. companies," the U.S. will impose high additional tariffs on goods exported to the United States.
