Trump says he will ‘probably put a big tariff on the UK’ if it doesn’t drop digital services tax

President Trump threatens substantial tariffs against the United Kingdom unless it abandons its digital services tax policy. The administration argues the levy unfairly targets American technology companies, characterizing it as an attempt to extract revenue from US corporations. This confrontation emerges amid broader trade negotiations between the two nations, with Trump previously indicating willingness to renegotiate existing bilateral trade agreements. The dispute highlights growing tensions over taxation of digital businesses in the international commerce landscape.
