The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he has (a) made an assessment and (b) commissioned analysis of the potential impact of a trade deal with the US on agriculture.

Answered by Daniel Zeichner

The UK and US have a strong economic relationship which is fair, balanced and reciprocal. We have $1.5 trillion invested in each other’s economies and over 2.5 million jobs across both countries.

The Prime Minister and President Trump agreed that we should work together to deepen this relationship and to agree a trade deal focused on technology.
