Sir Keir Starmer is looking to negotiate a pioneering trade agreement with Donald Trump centered on digital services, reflecting the UK's ongoing effort to strengthen ties with the U.S. The UK government believes a partial deal could materialize within months, particularly focused on technology and digital trade, as the U.S. remains the UK's largest trading partner. Past attempts for comprehensive agreements have faced obstacles, primarily due to agricultural disputes, but the increasing importance of digital services presents new opportunities for growth.
Digital services are seen as a gateway for growth, with the US already the UK's single largest trading partner.
There are always possibilities of doing deals in the US, certainly around digitalisation and services. We've got a lot to offer.
