    Cliff Notes

    • The White House reports that UK-US trade talks are progressing positively, according to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, though specifics on negotiations are not disclosed.
    • UK officials, including Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden, acknowledge serious engagement but emphasise caution regarding potential agreements to safeguard UK interests.
    • Chancellor Rachel Reeves reassures that UK food standards will not be compromised in the pursuit of a trade deal, aligning with government commitments to maintain safety standards.

    UK-US trade talks ‘moving in a very positive way’, says White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt

    Trade talks between the UK and United States are “moving in a very positive way” according to the White House.

    President Donald Trump‘s press secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke about the likelihood of the long-discussed agreement during a press briefing.

    In Westminster, there are hopes such a deal could soften the impact of the Trump tariffs announced last month.

    Leavitt told reporters: “As for the trade talks, I understand they are moving in a very positive way with the UK.

    “I don’t want to get ahead of the president or our trade team in how those negotiations are going, but I have heard they have been very positive and productive with the UK.”

    She said Trump always “speaks incredibly highly” of the UK.

    “He has a good relationship with your prime minister, though they disagree on domestic policy issues,” she added.

    “I have witnessed the camaraderie between them first hand in the Oval Office, and there is a deep mutual respect between our two countries that certainly the president upholds.”

    Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden gave the UK’s position on the talks when speaking to Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips yesterday.

    He said there was “a serious level of engagement going on at high levels” to secure a UK-US trade deal.

    Mr McFadden is one of the most powerful members of Sir Keir Starmer’s government and a key ally of the prime minister.

    He was careful to not get ahead of developments, however, saying: “I think an agreement is possible – I don’t think it’s certain, and I don’t want to say it’s certain, but I think it’s possible.”

    He went on to say the government wanted an “agreement in the UK’s interests” and not a “hasty deal”, amid fears from critics that Number 10 could acquiesce a deal that lowers food standards, for example, or changes certain taxes in a bid to persuade Donald Trump to lower some of the tariffs that have been placed on British goods.

    Mr McFadden’s tone was more cautious than Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ last week.

    She had been in the US and, speaking to Sky News business and economics correspondent Gurpreet Narwan, the chancellor said she was “confident” a deal could be done.
