U.K. sets red lines on drug prices, food in U.S. trade talks
2 March 2020 - Johnson’s government publishes goals for negotiations.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government played its first move in trade negotiations with the U.S., insisting it will not give ground on politically sensitive issues including the price of drugs and animal welfare.
The Department for International Trade on Monday published its aims for the talks, which are a priority for Johnson after he led Britain out of the European Union to seek trade deals around the world, citing a U.S. accord as a key prize of Brexit.
