The British government has abandoned hopes of clinching a U.S. free trade deal ahead of the presidential election, with officials blaming the novel coronavirus outbreak for slow progress, the Financial Times reported.

“Is it going to happen this year? Basically, no,” said one official quoted by the FT. Another was quoted as saying: “We don’t want to be bounced into a deal.”

Trade minister Liz Truss said last month that Britain had no deadline to strike a trade deal with the United States and she criticised the U.S. administration for talking “a good game” on free trade while restricting import access.

Why is UK so fixated with the US which will offer a 0.2% increase in GDP? Look for trade deals outside the US & EU. With not only Japan, Australia & New Zealand, but also with South Korea, Taiwan, India, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Is Truss wearing a bag for life at least she's gone green.

Well she can promote some cheese again surely?

Not going to work until trump’s out and you all know it!

Well...to be fair...

No point in making a deal with a lame-duck president.

didn't UK already simp out by banning huawei US should pony up and pay.

Surely you’d wait until Fart is out of the Oval

Anglo-Yankee disentangling moments?

these 'highly educated ' douches.... cant arrange an arsewipe let alone anything complex!

Dear UK, please keep the Yorkshire Gold Tea coming.

Why would you even think about signing anything with the U.S. They've shown over and over again that they will just tear up agreements. USA MAGA DonaldTrump Republicans

So why didn't UK exit from the earth?

They really like this 'no deal' stuff over there...

Hardly surprising. The White House admin had indicated for long that this was not a priority. (It also gives the US a chance later on to be more aggressive with demands as the UK economy worsens).

It's ok. We American's have abandoned hope of any assistance related to COVID19 by the end of the year too

No trade deal with US! No trade deal with EU! How great UK will start 2021! Good luck with that...!
