Exports: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of US policies made between 20 January 2017 and 20 January 2021 on UK exporters.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
The UK government is committed to monitoring US policies and considering what action is best to promote and safeguard UK business interests.
Between January 2017 and January 2021, we engaged the US administration extensively on a range of US policies, including in the context of UK-US FTA negotiations. Beyond 2021, we have continued engaging with the US to improve access to the US market for UK exporters, including by securing the removal of Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminium products.
