Officials ‘at multiple levels’ have relayed warning. Congressmen too. Big issue in talks. Summary thread... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ... pic.twitter.com/VTW0Rb1OsR Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp : I see Trump is viewing taxes on tech giants as being actively anti-American again (rather than an attempt to begin addressing globalisation's tax problems). Also, lol at post-Brexit ‘sovereignty.’ https://twitter.com/... Michael Russell / @feorlean : All the talk of preference and ease is and always was nonsense. The USA will force its conditions on #UK in every area and the #UK will have to capitulate. As part of the #EU it has muscle in trade - on its own it has none, and no modern trade negotiating skills either. https://twitter.com/... Peter Foster / @pmdfoster : EXC from my colleague in US @benrileysmith - US-UK trade deal full of pitfalls - digital tax - Congressional block if Good Friday agreement harmed - agriculture etc https://twitter.com/... @telegraph : Donald Trump's administration is warning Britain that it will not get a free trade deal unless a new tax affecting US tech giants is dropped | Exclusive from @benrileysmith https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ ...
