    Poland will face consequences if it introduces a levy on large technology companies, the incoming US envoy to Warsaw warned on Monday, as the spat between the two allies escalated.

    The government seeks to present a model to collect taxes from the so-called Big Tech firms in the coming months, Digitization Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski was reported as saying by PAP newswire on Monday. Tom Rose, whom President Donald Trump appointed as US next ambassador in Poland, called the plan “not very smart” in a post on social media platform X.

    Rose said that the new tax would hurt the relations between the two countries and the US president would “reciprocate as well he should.”

    The response comes a day after Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski clashed with Elon Musk on the X platform over Starlink satellite-internet system for Ukraine and was also accused by the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of “making things up.”

    How do you guys think Trump would retaliate? Trade tariffs can only be made against the whole EU instead of just Poland

      All of Europe should impose those taxes. Trump can impose tariffs if he wants. Let's see how that goes for them.

        EU really needs to at least get off of American tech in government service. Our tax shouldn't be going into their pockets.

            Multinational companies should be taxed on turnover in the individual countries, not on profits.

            And US companies are not above the law, for fuck sake.

                The US can just impose a reciprocal tax on Polish tech's US earnings.

                    Except the local versions of those companies make zero profit and have no taxable income. This why everyone agreed on a basic business tax rate until the orange monkey pulled out.

                        We have about 130 abrams, f16s make bulk of our airforce and patriots are our only modern long range sam platform. Not to mention f35s and apaches. The orangist could very easily pressure us but sadly our rulling class is bunch of bootlickers and probably are already figuring out how to undermine this bill.

                          This is why we shouldn't buy any more US military equipment and cancel all standing orders.

                            They have income/turnover, they just don't have any profits - which is why I said the turnover of these should be taxed.

                                      Poland will face consequences if it introduces a levy on large technology companies, the incoming US envoy to Warsaw warned on Monday, as the spat between the two allies escalated.

                                      The government seeks to present a model to collect taxes from the so-called Big Tech firms in the coming months, Digitization Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski was reported as saying by PAP newswire on Monday. Tom Rose, whom President Donald Trump appointed as US next ambassador in Poland, called the plan “not very smart” in a post on social media platform X.

                                      Rose said that the new tax would hurt the relations between the two countries and the US president would “reciprocate as well he should.”

                                      The response comes a day after Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski clashed with Elon Musk on the X platform over Starlink satellite-internet system for Ukraine and was also accused by the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of “making things up.”

                                      I think Europe needs to use european made tools and services.
                                      US software- and cloud providers can't be trusted with nation critical things. At this point any data they have access to, will eventually find it self on Putins desk.

                                          US cloud supports our military endeavors and it spies on you. That AI facial recognition drones and police are using are powered in large part by google and other big tech companies. The immensity of the data standards and how much they cost to build and operate is staggering. You have no idea how much simply not using google would impact the world as google has it's hands in everything.

                                          Stop using American tech.
