MANCHESTER, England – British business and trade minister, Kemi Badenoch, has conveyed her perspective on the possibility of a free trade agreement (FTA) between the United Kingdom and the United States under President Joe Biden’s administration. She cited the President’s stance on such agreements as a key factor.
President Biden has temporarily halted FTA negotiations with several countries, including Britain. When questioned about the likelihood of a free trade deal under the Biden administration during an event at the Conservative Party conference, Minister Badenoch responded by stating that the chances were “zero.”
