Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what discussions she has had with his international counterparts on trade with Russia.

The UK and our international partners stand united in the face of Russian aggression. The international community has demonstrated unprecedented unity, including on trade matters. Alongside other G7 countries, we are denying Russia Most-Favoured-Nation treatment relating to key products, ramping up the pressure on Russia’s economy. We have also announced a prohibition on the export of luxury goods to Russia.

In addition to engagement in multilateral fora, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade has met a range of counterparts, including US Ambassador Philip T. Reeker and German Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Habeck. The Secretary of State will meet US and Canadian counterparts on 21 and 22 March.
