According to BlockBeats, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has indicated that the European Union may impose taxes on major U.S. technology companies if trade negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump do not succeed. This statement highlights the potential for increased economic tensions between the EU and the United States, as both parties navigate complex trade discussions.
