Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

UK/US Free Trade Agreement

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord for making that important point. In Kyiv last Friday, and at the G20 summit, the Prime Minister said: “I have been clear that we would like to have discussions about a trade deal with the US, that we don’t accept the argument that there’s a binary choice between a reset with the EU and a deal with the U.S. and obviously the time for those decisions will be in the weeks and months to come”. The priority of the Prime Minister and the Government is economic growth. Free and open trade with our most economically important partners will be key to achieving that.
