Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the Trump administration’s decision to lift some its 50% tariffs on Canadian goods.

The Government remains firmly committed to strengthening the UK’s trading relationships with both the US and Canada. We continue to monitor developments in US-Canada trade and assess any implications for UK interests. These developments do not change our focus on deepening bilateral trade and investment with Canada and identifying further opportunities for UK businesses. However, we cannot comment on trade relations between third countries.
