This episode examines Spanish Vice President Yolanda Díaz’s proposal for a so-called “Trump Tax” on major U.S. tech companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. Aimed at ensuring Big Tech pays its fair share, the plan could strain relations with Washington, echoing past tariff threats. We discuss how Díaz frames the measure as part of a broader European effort to assert digital sovereignty, regulate online platforms, and reduce dependence on the U.S. and China in the global tech race.
