Reeves Says UK-US Trade Relationship Will Continue Under Trump
Transcript
00:00I think it is too early to start making changes to forecast for our economy
00:08because of the election of a president in the United States.
00:13But I would say this, our trading relationship, our economic relationship
00:17with the United States is absolutely crucial.
00:19The US are our single biggest trading partner.
00:23Trade between our two countries I think is 311 billion pounds a year.
00:29So of course that relationship is crucial.
00:32And our special relationship obviously goes much beyond trade
00:36for our security and defense relationship as well.
00:41And I'm confident that those trade flows will continue under the new president.
00:48And indeed, President Trump has been president of the United States before.
00:53And we continue to have a strong and healthy economic relationship.
00:58And we as a government will continue to make the case for free trade.
01:03We are an open trading economy.
01:05We benefit from that with our trading relationships with Europe,
01:08with the Middle East, with Asia, and of course with the United States.
