US representative threatens to bar UK businesses for upcoming Israeli settlement trade ban

US representative Randy Fine has threatened to bar UK businesses from operating in Florida following the UK's announcement of a trade ban on illegal Israeli settlements. Fine stated that Florida is a significant trading partner for Britain and warned that supporting such a ban could result in substantial financial losses for the UK. He emphasized that any company or nation that boycotts Israel would face a boycott from Florida, referencing a law he passed that would prevent British companies complying with the boycott from doing business with state or local governments in Florida.
