Hill's Statement on U.S.-U.K. Trade Negotiation Discussions

Statement

Congressman French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after the administration formally notified Congress of its plan to enter into trade negotiations with the United Kingdom consistent with Congressional priorities.

"I'm pleased to hear the good news that the United States and the United Kingdom will be entering trade negotiations. We are the first and fifth largest economies in the world, respectively, and by working on trade priorities consistent with Congressional objectives, I'm confident that we will grow, expand, and improve opportunities that both benefit American workers and those in the United Kingdom. I've had the privilege of working closely with UK Member of Parliament Rehman Chishti on ways to better strengthen the U.S.-U.K. friendship through bilateral trade, economic opportunities, and more.

"Although I am pleased to see the administration begin negotiations with America's economic allies, I have offered a constructive review of the administration's approach on steel and aluminum tariffs and will continue to encourage the administration to ensure our trade policy is mutually beneficial for our economic allies and American workers."
