A free trade agreement with the US was once promised as the ultimate post-Brexit goal for trading 🇺🇸🇬🇧 But a lack of interest in pursuing an agreement from Joe Biden has forced the UK Government to downgrade its expectations
The wide-ranging deal was once promised as the ultimate post-Brexit goal for trading, buthas forced the UK Government to downgrade its expectations.
Mr Sunak said he would be pressing the US president on building on these smaller deals as well as pushing for a closer economic security alliance to reflect current “challenges”. “And that is the conversation that I will be having with President Biden. That involves not just trade but also economic security, which is increasingly important.”promise of a wide-ranging UK-US deal was unrealistic, Mr Sunak said: “All I said is since I’ve been Prime Minister, we’ve been focused – as have the US – on making sure that our economic partnership reflects the opportunities and challenges of the time that we face now.
And he argued that the economic relationship must reflect “the particular challenges and opportunities at the time were in” – alluding to his wish for greater cooperation on issues including green industry and AI.“I focus more on actions than words or phrases and and the facts are clear,” he said. “The US is our largest trading partner. They are our closest diplomatic ally, when it comes to matters of defensive security.
