Trump threatens 'big tariff if UK does not drop digital services tax on US tech firms

Let me get this straight.

Trump is saying he'll make US citizens pay more in the US, because the UK are making US companies pay more tax in the UK?

Cool, go nuts!

the illegal tariffs the tax payers will have to pay back or the ones that never materialize because of the TACO effect?

Besides the obvious fact that US consumers would be the ones paying this and not the UK government....

The digital services tax went unchanged under the trade deal agreed by the US and UK in May 2025, despite it being a point of discussion.

However, in an interview with Sky's Mark Stone earlier this month, the US president suggested the terms of the agreement "can always be changed".

The last agreement is less than a year old, and trump is already throwing it out

What's the point in negotiating with someone who's randomly going to rip it up and start over?

Any time spent dealing with trump instead of any other country is just wasted time. Especially since Americans are broke as fuck and can't buy shit, pretty soon other countries won't even acknowledge trump's tariffs.

They need to start negotiating with trump in a way he understands, if he imposes tariffs double or triple the tax.

TACO

Tackling all the important issues, i see...

Canadian here, we dropped our ours and got nothing in return, thanks clown Mark Carney. Keep the tax!
