This is the Way: Trump Tells Galaxy of Nations to Drop Digital Taxes or Face the U.S.'s Wrath

Credits Will Do Fine… Or Else

I hear tell that the White House is making noise across the galaxy aiming to convince more planets—I mean countries—to ditch their digital service taxes. Apparently Canada folded faster than a Jawa in a sandstorm after a little 'persuasion.' This Hassett fella from the National Economic Council sounds like he means business. Says these digital taxes will be 'taken off.' I've seen tougher negotiations over a thermal detonator.

This is the Way… to Avoid Tariffs

Word is Canada backpedaled faster than a speeder bike with a busted repulsorlift. They scrapped their DST just hours before it was due to be collected. Seems they wanted to keep those 'broader trade negotiations' alive. Trump threatened to terminate talks and they caved faster than a Hutt at a podrace. This is the way... to avoid a whole lotta trouble.

The Price for Failure

Hassett says that countries with these digital sales taxes will face the 'wrath' of this Jameson Greer character the U.S. Trade Representative. Sounds like someone you don't want to cross even if you're wearing beskar armor. I’ve seen what happens when you mess with the wrong people. Spoiler alert: it usually involves carbonite.

Tariffs: I Have Spoken

Seems these tariffs are coming back faster than a Mandalorian jetpack. Hassett believes the U.S. has 'frameworks' for deals that will be agreed upon after some budget bill passes. Politicians… always with the paperwork. But if these tariffs hit some planets are gonna feel it in their credits. And credits are the backbone of the Outer Rim.

The Oval Office 'Marathon'

If this bill passes there will be some 'marathon session' in the Oval Office where Trump and his aides will decide tariff rates. Sounds like a high stakes Sabacc game. I wonder if they’ll offer bounties for the best deals. Now *that’s* an idea I can get behind.

We Can Do Whatever We Want…Apparently

Trump says 'We can do whatever we want.' Bold words. Makes me wonder if he's ever faced a Mudhorn. Still if this all shakes out it could mean big changes for how credits flow across the galaxy. I'll be watching closely. After all a Mandalorian always keeps an eye on the horizon. This is the way.
