EU Readies Tariffs on U.S. Digital Services Amid Trade Clash
The European Commission will hit back at US industrial tariffs with a list of sanctions against American digital companies and cloud services. As talks are about to begin, digital spaces have become a weapon in the broader trade wars. The EU list targets online advertising, cloud hosting and adtech – worth €72 billion in tariffs. For Nigerian companies and marketers, this means possible price volatility or changed data hosting norms. Local startups should consider partnering with Africa-based cloud providers and diversify service channels as a hedge against volatility. The story says global trade policy is as important to tech platforms as it is to autos or steel.
