(6 February 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to secure a trade deal with the United States.

Asked by:
Bradley Thomas (Conservative)

Answer

The UK-US trading relationship is already worth around £300 billion, supporting over a million jobs and representing 17% of total UK trade. This government's priority is economic growth and increasing trade with international partners is a major part of that. The Prime Minister had a warm call with President Trump on 26 January where they discussed trade and the economy and agreed to meet soon for further discussions.
