Answer
The US is our largest single trade partner, worth £199.5bn over the past 12 months. UK-US trade has grown by 33% over the last four years, compared to 22% for UK-EU trade. Last month the Trade Secretary and the Vice President discussed ways of increasing trade between our two countries even further. We are ready to secure an ambitious trade deal.
