Image: Markus Schreiber/PA LIZ TRUSS HAS conceded that negotiations for a post-Brexit free trade deal with the US will not restart for years as she flew to New York ahead of a meeting with Joe Biden.
“There aren’t currently any negotiations taking place with the US and I don’t have an expectation that those are going to start in the short to medium term,” she told reporters flying with her to New York. Biden has raised concerns about the impact of Brexit and the Northern Ireland Protocol on the peace process.
So far the UK and the US have been striking smaller state-by-state agreements, with Britain signing deals with Indiana and North Carolina.
