U.S.-UK post Brexit trade deal in works

The UK’s international trade minister says the United Kingdom wants a free trade agreement with the U.S. soon.

Liz Truss said earlier this week in London that signing a new free trade agreement with the United States is one of her top priorities. She reportedly met with Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross, and trade representative Robert Lighthizer in Washington, D.C. this week.

Truss said the groundwork has already been made and the deal is being “fast tracked” so trade with the U.S. can be increased as soon as possible.
