US vice-president JD Vance has said there is a “good chance” of Washington and London clinching a “great agreement” on trade, injecting new hope into bilateral negotiations.
Britain was singled out by Vance as likely to achieve more agreeable trading terms on account of President Donald Trump’s affection for the nation and wider, long-standing cultural links between the UK and US.
“The president really loves the United Kingdom. He loved the Queen. He admires and loves the King. It is a very important relationship. And he’s a businessman and has a number of important business relationships in [Britain],” Vance told the UnHerd website in an interview published on Tuesday.
