Trade Agreements: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what plans his Department has to negotiate a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
In their meeting on 27 February, the Prime Minister and President spoke about the fair, balanced and reciprocal economic relationship that the UK and the US enjoy. They agreed to deepen this relationship, and tasked their teams to work together on an economic deal focused on tech. We are in regular discussions with our US counterparts, and we will set out more details as conversations evolve.
