Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent progress his Department has made on negotiating a free-trade agreement with the US.

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.
