Trump Threatens UK with 'Big Tariff'
In a move that could disrupt transatlantic trade, President Trump accused the UK government of trying to 'make an easy buck' from American tech giants through its existing tax framework.
Despite a trade deal signed in 2025, the president suggested that the agreement is subject to change if the digital levy remains in place.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing domestic pressure to stand firm, even as the president praises the King as a 'fantastic man.' The escalation highlights the volatile nature of US-UK relations amid the ongoing economic pressures of the Iran war.
