US Says Will Retaliate If Poland Introduces Tax on Big Tech

Poland will face consequences if it introduces a levy on large technology companies, the incoming US envoy to Warsaw warned, escalating a spat between the two countries.

The government has no plans to abandon work on the tax, Digitization Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski told Radio Zet on Tuesday, calling the intervention “sick.” Tom Rose, whom President Donald Trump appointed as the next US ambassador to Poland, called the planned levy “not very smart” in a post on social media platform X on Monday.
