“We are going to win so much” is a familiar soundbite from President Donald Trump, and also representative of his administration’s approach to international negotiations. President Trump favors bilateral trade deals and has been optimistically touting the US as the UK’s first FTA partner after Brexit. From the UK’s perspective, Prime Minister Boris Johnson also wants wins, partly due to the desire to uphold certain regulatory standards, and largely to maintain political, economic, and social security and stability post-Brexit to soften the blow of leaving the EU on the UK economy. As both countries were primed to begin negotiations, COVID-19 happened. On May 5, 2020, the long-anticipated US-UK FTA discussions finally began, virtually, and were set to conclude by May 15, 2020.
Please join Squire Patton Boggs experts – based in Washington, DC and London – for a roundtable to examine the relationship between the US and UK during a time of mutually important trade negotiation and the shifting dynamics beyond the horizon.
