How the NEW DEAL USA-EU will affect FUTURE server prices ?
US & EU signed a new commercial TAX deal : EU must buy US energy & invest for billion, and assume 15% export taxes, but some services will have no taxes.
Would your EU server price change ?

It seems that energy will become more expensive and server prices will increase, but the competition is too strong. What do you think will happen ?
You’re looking at it the wrong way around. It’s the companies in the U.S. that will have to pay a 15% tax on certain products imported from the EU.
This won’t affect server prices in the EU.
I believe most servers and components in the U.S. are imported from countries other than the EU, so it’s tariffs on those countries that will affect server prices in the U.S..

It depends on how it's implemented. Maybe the European companys can each rent a PO box in Delaware and say that their US operation sold me the server.
Read the deal again, 15% taxes are imposed by US to EU import, not inverse.
No, not US to EU but EU to US.
I resume : EU and US agree trade deal, with 15% tariffs for European exports to America
(source BBC & others)
EU commits to $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in additional investments.
When i write EU must assume 15%, that mean export will be more difficult, AND EU must buy extra energy & invest FROM US. Someone must pay that, so i think server price could not be the same as before.
If nobody cares nothing will happen if people obey it will increase
ok EU EXPORT, my fault, apologize.
So wait and see...
