LONDON: Britain wants a trade deal with the United States but will impose a digital service tax on the revenue of companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon, business minister Andrea Leadsom said on Jan 23.
"The United States and the United Kingdom are committed to entering into a trade deal with each other, and we have a very strong relationship that goes back centuries, so some of the disagreements that we might have over particular issues don't in any way damage the excellent and strong and deep relationship between the US and the UK," Leadsom told Talk Radio.
