Trump Threatens ‘Big Tariff’ Over UK Digital Tax
President Trump has threatened the UK with significant tariffs on British goods if it does not repeal its digital services tax. The 2% tax, enacted in 2020, targets revenue from U.S. tech giants like Google and Meta. Trump called the tax opportunistic and vowed retaliation, while the UK government defended it as a crucial fiscal tool. This dispute adds to trans-Atlantic trade tensions.
