The Government is engaging across the US to enhance our existing sub-federal relationships. We want to make it easier, cheaper and quicker for UK and US businesses to work together. We are taking a twin track approach to trading with the US, seeking out ways to unlock barriers for businesses at the state level in addition to our engagement at the federal level.

This includes pursuing Memorandums of Understanding (MOU), as well as other tools such as mutual recognition agreements with states. This complements our continued efforts to strike a free trade agreement with the federal government.
