Britain will seek to strengthen its trading relationship with the United States this week when trade minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan visits New York and Washington, but a full free-trade agreement remains a distant prospect.

Trevelyan will meet U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in Washington on Tuesday, and promote Britain at a meeting with investors in New York.

Despite a trade deal with the United States being touted as one of the biggest prizes of Britain's exit from the European Union in the years following the 2016 Brexit vote, U.S. President Joe Biden has since made clear that any such deal is not a priority for his administration.That has forced Britain to take a different approach of pursuing smaller agreements to remove specific trade barriers, solve long-running trade disputes, and work together on world trade reform.

Trevelyan's visit, her first since becoming trade minister in September, will pursue that strategy, including a push to resolve a long-running dispute over steel and aluminium tariffs. Former U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25% and 10% tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from the EU in 2018. The tariffs were withdrawn in October of this year, but they remain in place for Britain due to its exit from the EU.

Officials in the United States and Britain last week rejected a report in the Financial Times that said talks on resolving the tariff row were stalled due to concerns about post-Brexit trade rules affecting Northern Ireland.Reporting by William James; editing by David EvansSubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.

Number of omicron cases in US 'likely to rise,' CDC director saysWith the omicron variant now detected in at least 16 states in the U.S., CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the agency is 'following them closely' and that the number is 'likely to rise.' She refuses to track breakthrough cases as vaccine does not work. You have a higher chance of having a heart attack according to CDC website, getting the flu, getting cancer, getting in a car accident, a bike accident or even struck by lightning. They want you to live in fear so they can take the 29 trillion debt we already owe to 60 trillion with their socialism plan and just pay people to stay home, break every law like where they had no legal precedent to block home evictions with no legal ground. Remember this person crying on national television that we were doomed and going to die then next week tell vaccinated to go mask free, go in crowds and with family no social distance, so they could spread it to the unvaccinated. Great leadership, great plan.
