US trade representative says Trump’s 100% tariff threat on UK imports is “not a bluff”

AI Market Summary
A senior US trade official said Trump's threatened 100% tariff on UK imports over the UK digital services tax is "not a bluff", raising the probability of an escalation in UK-US trade tensions. Even without immediate implementation, headline risk may widen UK risk premia and weigh on GBP through growth and policy uncertainty. The dispute also re-introduces tariffs as a live cross-Atlantic macro catalyst.

A US trade representative has warned that Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 100% import tariff on the UK is not “a bluff”, linking it to Britain’s digital services tax on US technology companies. The UK has levied a 2% tax since 2020 on groups such as Google and Apple with global digital revenues exceeding £500m. The measure is expected to raise £800m in 2024/25 for the Treasury.
