After Trump's success with removing our ambassador, he's now progressed to
removing British tax laws he doesn't like. It's not hard to imagine how one
sided a US-UK trade deal would be.
The US will not negotiate a free trade deal with the UK unless a new
digital services tax is dropped, according to a newspaper report.
The measure, which was proposed in 2018 by then chancellor Philip
Hammond in response to fears that technology giants were not paying
their fair share of tax, is due to come into effect in April next year.
But US President Donald Trump's administration is demanding that it be
ditched, The Daily Telegraph has reported.
