Trade Agreements: USA
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether trade negotiations with the US on (a) digital trade provisions and (b) non-tariff barriers will include online safety regulation.
Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander
On 8 May the UK government announced a landmark economic deal with the United States, making the UK the first country to reach an agreement with President Trump.
We are continuing talks on a wider UK-US Economic Deal which will look at increasing digital trade, increasing access for our world-leading services industries and improving supply chains.
Protecting people online has never been up for negotiation in these talks. The Online Safety Act is already law and being implemented.
