Britain’s Truss doesn’t expect UK-US trade deal anytime soon
Associated PressNEW YORK — Prime Minister Liz Truss has kicked off her first visit to the United States as Britain’s leader with an admission that a U.K-U.S. free trade deal is not going to happen for years. “There currently any negotiations taking place with the U.S., and I don’t have an expectation that those are going to start in the short to medium term,” Truss told reporters aboard her plane to New York, where she landed Tuesday to attend the United Nations General Assembly. Truss said her priorities for the meeting with Biden were “making sure that we are able to collectively deal Russian aggression,” and ensuring “we are not strategically dependent on authoritarian regimes.” “I want to work with our allies like the United States, like France, the EU, the Baltic States, Poland to take on the challenge we face from Russian aggression,” she said. She has said the situation can’t be allowed to “drift.” With hopes of a U.K.-U.S. agreement fading, Britain has resorted to signing trade deals with individual American states.
