— U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told the BBC’s Newsday that there would “without a doubt” be a U.S. response if the UK imposes expected trade sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.He suggested the response could come at both the state and federal levels, warning that targeting “a partner, Israel” could have a “huge economic impact on British businesses,” with some potentially being “banned” from doing business “in a number of states” across the U.S.
