Steel Tariffs To Go

It seems that the USA will ditch 25 percent tariffs on British steel today.

Additionally, Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevalyan has told the media that the Biden administration’s position wrt a trade deal has changed, and that there are now hopes for a full trade deal before the next election.

Quite why Biden has changed his mind is unclear. Time will tell as to whether a deal is actually done.

Trade Deals Update

The UK has reached an agreement with Asian free trade partnership Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

Nearly a part of the £8.4 trillion club,  the UK will now enter the market access phase of negotiations with the free trade area.

It comes ahead of international trade secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan’s trip to Indonesia, Japan and Singapore next week.

Additionally, given that Biden is dragging his heels over a trade deal with the USA, the UK will negotiate trade deals with individual American states.

Britain To Head EU Security Organisation?

European leaders are planning to ask Britain to head up a new security organisation to counter future geopolitical challenges, in a move to put post-Brexit tensions behind them.

Proposals for a “European Security Council” are being drawn up by Germany, the Netherlands and Poland in order to bring “Britain back into the fold” of major foreign policy discussions outside the confines of the European Union.

The influential EU capitals believe it is now time to end years of bitterness after Brexit and forge new ties based on security and global co-operation, all to ensure Europe is better positioned to tackle world crises, in areas such as the Ukraine crisis and future pandemics.

A group of countries are already urging Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, to personally reach out to Boris Johnson to “bring Britain back into the fold”. Berlin is considered to have enough political heft to ensure the proposals, which are still in their early stages, have maximum impact.

“Continental leaders need to say we’re sitting down, and it would be great if you sat down with us,” a senior European diplomat told the Telegraph.

Britain’s handling of the Ukraine crisis, especially the willingness of Liz Truss, the Foreign Secretary, to work with EU allies, has reinforced European calls to improve ties with the UK, the source added.

However, there is a very large fly in the ointment in the shape of Macron, who opposes the plans!
