US, UK to Convene 2nd of 2 ‘Dialogues’ for Boosting Atlantic Trade

U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai will travel to Aberdeen, Scotland, and London beginning Sunday for the second of two U.S.-U.K. “dialogues” on the future of Atlantic trade, said her office Thursday. Tai hosted the first dialogue in Baltimore late last month, and she and her U.K. counterpart, International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan, emerged with a nine-point commitment list for the two sides to “deepen their cooperation on trade,” including promoting an “open and competitive digital economy” and building “strong, durable supply chains that can withstand future global shocks.” Tai and Trevelyan also agreed that the U.S. and U.K. would work to "address third party market-distorting practices," an evident reference to China.
