CBI responds to UK-US trade negotiation objectives

Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, CBI Director-General, said:

“The UK is beginning a brand-new chapter in its global future, and a good trade deal with the US is a vital part of that story.

“It’s encouraging to see the Government’s ambitions to make it easier for skilled people to move between the UK and US, support small business exporters and future-proof any agreement around industries of the future.

“The US and UK already share the world’s largest bilateral investment relationship; now is the time to use it as a springboard for new jobs and investment here at home.”
