Talks with US over digital services continue, says PM
Briefly

The UK Prime Minister noted that ongoing discussions with the US about digital services are occurring alongside a recent trade deal that significantly lowers tariffs on steel and aluminum. The UK's Digital Services Tax (DST), a 2% levy primarily impacting major US tech firms, remains intact. Sir Keir Starmer highlighted that while the focus of the recent agreement was mainly on tariffs, the government is still working towards a broader UK-US trade agreement. This move is critical for protecting sectors affected by previous tariffs introduced under President Trump.
