Reeves in Washington: Chancellor must set out UK’s “red lines” on any Trump trade deal

22 Apr 2025

EMBARGO: 22.00 Tuesday 22nd April

Commenting ahead of the Chancellor’s trip to Washington to meet fellow finance ministers, Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“The Chancellor must set out clear red lines on any Trump trade deal, and reject any attempts by Trump’s America to water down our food and farming standards, undermine our NHS, discard online protections for our children or cut taxes for tech barons.

“It’s also vital that Parliament has a vote on any deal as there’s simply too much at stake.”
