We have an ambitious programme of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations to help our nation become a truly Global Britain.

We have completed seven rounds of negotiations with India, four rounds of negotiations with Canada, and two rounds of negotiations with Mexico.

We look forward to concluding negotiations at the earliest opportunity, but it is the substance of trade deals that is important, not the timing.
