Trump Says He May Impose Tariff on UK Over Digital Services Tax
The levy raised $1.3 billion in 2025-26, and Trump said he would match it with a tariff if Britain keeps the tax.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened a "big tariff" on the UK if it does not drop its 2% digital services tax targeting American tech firms.
- Introduced in 2020, the UK's 2% levy applies to companies with worldwide revenues exceeding £500 million, yet remained unchanged under the 2025 UK-US trade deal.
- Trump argued the laws target "top companies in the world," claiming the UK is attempting to make an "easy buck" at the expense of the United States.
- The president vowed to "reciprocate by putting something on that's equal or greater than what they're doing" if the government maintains the digital services legislation.
- Ahead of King Charles' visit next week, Trump suggested the monarch could help repair the strained relationship between Washington and the British government.
