Trump Warns of Heavy Tariff on UK Over Digital Services Tax
US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a hefty tariff on the UK in retaliation for Britain’s Digital Services Tax. Speaking at the White House, he criticised the 2% levy on large technology firms—many of them American—and warned that the US could easily respond with a “big tariff” if the tax remains in place. The dispute comes amid already strained US-UK ties over trade and global issues. A UK government spokesperson said both nations remain close allies and will continue constructive talks. Business groups caution that uncertainty over potential retaliatory measures could disrupt planning and trade.
