BRASILIA (Reuters) - The Brazilian government has shelved a proposal to tax big tech firms, due in part to concerns that the move could be seen as a response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats, two officials with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
Instead the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Brazil's government will focus on advancing a separate bill to regulate competition among major digital platforms in Latin America's largest economy.
