The new British Minister for International Trade, Liz Truss, gives a free trade agreement with the US top priority. She wanted to build on the „successful telephone conversation“ between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Liz Truss wrote in the newspaper „The Telegraph“ last night.
It excluded the involvement of the UK health system NHS in the negotiations. Truss is said to meet US Ambassador Woody Johnson in the coming days, before flying to Washington for talks with Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.
British are preparing for „no deal“ Brexit
Despite the full-bodied announcement to renegotiate with Brussels, the new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his government are preparing for a Brexit without agreements. The entire machinery of the government would work „at full speed“ in the preparation of a „no deal“ Brexit, said Minister of State Michael Gove. The government is planning to invest up to one billion pounds (1.11 billion euros).
