Written question asked by Chi Onwurah (Labour) on Thursday, 14 April 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 20 April 2022. It was answered by Penny Mordaunt (Conservative) on Tuesday, 26 April 2022 on behalf of the Department for International Trade.


Trade: USA

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what (a) working groups or (b) structured dialogues have been launched following the trade discussions in Baltimore; and how those groups or dialogues compare with the 10 US-EU Trade and Technology Council Working Groups in place.

Answer

At the first UK-U.S. Trade Dialogue on 21-22 March in Baltimore, the UK and U.S. made a number of commitments (found here in the Joint Statement), including re-launching the joint Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) Dialogue. We will continue to identify further steps to move forward our important U.S.-UK bilateral trade relationship at the next Trade Dialogue on 25-26 April in Aberdeen.

The UK has its own unique interests and relationship with the United States. Our independent trade policy allows us to pursue this in detail, and discussions at the UK-U.S. Joint Dialogues have been tailored to our bilateral interests.
