Lord Leong (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

UK/US Free Trade Agreement

Contribution

I thank my noble friend for that question. The US is our single largest trading partner, amounting to well over £300 billion last year. We have invested close to £1.2 trillion in both our economies, and employ almost 1 million people. The US is a country that we have to deal with, and our businesses ask us to work with the US.
