Part 4/10:
Recently, U.S. concerns have shifted towards European regulations that target significant tech firms, particularly American companies. In 2016, the U.S. considered invoking Section 891 in response to the European Commission's demand that Apple pay $14.5 billion in back taxes to Ireland. Furthermore, in 2019, discussions arose in the Senate Finance Committee about retaliating against France for its Digital Services Tax, which was perceived to disproportionately affect American tech giants. Canada followed suit with a similar tax, further intensifying this ongoing tension.
