United States Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin has warned Italy and Britain that they face
tariffs on their goods in the US if they press ahead with plans
for a web tax on Internet giants such as Google, Facebook and
Alphabet in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Mnuchin said that France's decision to delay implementation
of its web tax was "the beginning of a solution".
He then called on Rome and London to suspend their plans.
"If not they'll find themselves faced with President (Donald)
Trump's tariffs," he said.
