What should pass
“AI Consensus Solution”
Digital Services Tax Fairness and Retaliation Authorization Act
To express Congress's strong opposition to foreign digital services taxes that discriminate against U.S. companies, and to signal potential retaliatory measures.
Bipartisan rationale: Democratic priorities honored: protects U.S. workers and companies from unfair foreign taxes, includes relief for affected companies, and requires transparent investigations. Republican priorities honored: uses targeted tariffs rather than broad tax increases, respects executive authority in trade, and includes a sunset to limit government overreach.
Vote-count path: ~260 House votes: 150 Democrats + 110 Republicans; ~60 Senate votes: 45 Democrats + 15 Republicans, with opposition from free-trade purists on both sides.
