"While the so-called Washington declaration unveiled by the two leaders at the end of Sunak's visit to the US capital is little more than a series of economic mini-deals, its symbolism is significant, signalling a major shift away from the recent UK mantra of unfettered free trade in favour of mutual protectionism."

"Amid the series of thus far mainly vague commitments is an acknowledgment by Sunak that UK economic security requires at least some acceptance of Biden's economic worldview."
Negative

Negative
