Trump threatens UK with tariffs

In a move that risks a new trade war, President Trump has threatened to retaliate against the United Kingdom's 2% levy on large American technology firms.

Trump described the digital services tax as a discriminatory attempt to 'make an easy buck' at the expense of U.S. corporations.

Downing Street is now facing intense pressure to withdraw the tax to avoid a 'tariff tsunami' that could cripple British exports.

This diplomatic friction occurs just as King Charles III prepares for a high-stakes state visit to the United States next week.
