Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump have had a private phone call to talk about a potential economic prosperity deal, Downing Street has confirmed—just as rumors swirl that the Government might ditch the Digital Services Tax, which targets tech giants like Amazon and Meta.
The call took place on Sunday night, according to the Prime Minister’s official spokesman, who said the two leaders discussed how talks on the deal were progressing. The timing couldn’t be more striking, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves reportedly considering changes to the tax ahead of the spring statement, reported the Express.
