No, it can't easily slap tariff, at least with current treaties, and I don't think EU countries will apply for new ones nilly willy.
What do you cry about "tax free"? So does sell US companies those same services tax free (VAT free), withing US I mean. What is the fucking difference, where does the dumping happen? Everybody sells tax free. That is equal playground, not the opposite.
Or if the selling happens in EU, everybody collects the tax, again equal playground. Before it favored US companies not collecting VAT (and still does those who don't abide).
