The US has warned it could put tariffs of up to 25% on a host of UK exports in retaliation for a UK tax on tech firms.
Ceramics, make-up, overcoats, games consoles and furniture could all be hit, according to a list published by the Biden administration.
The duties are designed to raise $325m (£235.8m), the amount the US believes the UK will raise from US tech firms.
A UK government spokesperson said it wanted to “make sure tech firms pay their fair share of tax”.
They added: “Should the US proceed to implement these measures, we would consider all options to defend UK interests and industry.” BBC
