Trump warns UK tariffs
- President Donald Trump threatened to “probably put a big tariff on the UK” unless Britain drops its digital‑services tax, framing tariffs as leverage against taxing American tech firms. - The threat comes as Ottawa signals readiness to open a CUSMA review with the U.S. and Mexico, and India faces delays on a U.S. trade deal tied to Section 301 tariff risks. - The comments underline a broader U.S. push to use tariffs and trade rules to pressure allies over digital taxation and standards, not just protect domestic industries.
