Introduction
United States Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai is soliciting comments and has scheduled hearings regarding the potential imposition of Section 301 tariffs of up to 25% in response to the Digital Services Tax (DST) adopted by Austria, India, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
When President Biden tapped Tai as USTR she inherited ongoing tariffs and half-finished investigations undertaken by her predecessor under the Trump administration. Now that Tai has been confirmed and officially assumed office, there have been some early developments to take ownership of both the ongoing investigations regarding DSTs and the EU Airbus dispute. As emphasised in her day one message to USTR staff, these developments are consistent with Tai s goal of rebuilding US alliances while continuing to address the challenges posed by China and other countries.
