PM says in Washington he has ‘every confidence a great deal is there to be done’ on transatlantic trade
The US will start to allow imports of UK lamb for the first time in decades, Boris Johnson has said, as he used his trip to Washington to talk up what he termed “solid incremental steps” in mutual trade, in the absence of a formal bilateral deal.
After talks between Johnson and Joe Biden at the White House on Tuesday, Downing Street strongly played down the chances of a rapid UK-US trade deal, something repeatedly cited by Brexiters as a major benefit of leaving the EU.
