Overseas Trade: USA
Thursday 17th October 2019

Asked by: Harriett Baldwin (Conservative - West Worcestershire)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

What recent steps the Government has taken to increase trade with the US.

Answered by Conor Burns

The US is our largest single trade partner, worth £199.5bn over the past 12 months. UK-US trade has grown by 33% over the last four years, compared to 22% for UK-EU trade. Last month the Trade Secretary and the Vice President discussed ways of increasing trade between our two countries even further. We are ready to secure an ambitious trade deal.
