Should countries use tariffs as leverage in digital services tax disputes?

Context

Digital services taxes are levies some countries impose on large tech companies' online revenues, often targeting U.S. firms. When countries implement these taxes, the U.S. and other trading partners sometimes threaten retaliatory tariffs on unrelated goods—like wine or cheese—to pressure negotiations. This dispute reflects deeper tensions over how to tax multinational corporations in an increasingly digital economy, with major economies disagreeing on who should collect revenue and how much.
