(Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump has warned the United Kingdom that it could face significant tariffs if it does not remove a tax imposed on American technology companies, according to remarks published in an interview with The Telegraph.
Trump described the UK’s digital services tax as “unfair,” arguing that it disproportionately targets US tech giants and undermines American business interests. He said the United States would not tolerate what he called discriminatory treatment of its companies.
The US president also issued a veiled warning to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, stating that Washington could respond with broad tariffs on British goods if the tax policy remains in place.
Trump stressed that the United States would take a firm stance on protecting its corporate sector, particularly major technology firms operating globally.
Trade analysts say the comments could increase tensions between Washington and London at a time when both countries are already navigating disputes over digital taxation and regulatory frameworks for multinational tech companies.
Experts further caution that any escalation could have wider implications for global trade flows, investment sentiment, and the international technology sector.
