In the months since Brexit, the British government has moved assertively to demonstrate its commitment to free trade. The UK recently announced an agreement in principle for a free trade agreement with Japan, and it has negotiated a wide range of continuity agreements with existing trading partners. But the UK’s most significant negotiating partner as a newly-independent trading nation is the United States. The fourth round of the Anglo-American negotiations have concluded, and both sides have announced their determination to reach an agreement.

Join Liz Truss, the Secretary of State for International Trade, as she headlines a panel that includes Shanker SIngham and Dan Hannan that will examine the UK-US negotiations and their place in Britain’s broader return to its historic role as a free trading nation after Brexit.
