JOE BIDEN will have at least three strict red lines in any future UK/US trade talks with Boris Johnson, including on areas which could anger Brexiteers, an expert has said.
President Joe Biden spoke of the desire to “strengthen the special relationship” between the US and UK in his first call with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The pair spoke on Saturday evening, with Mr Johnson congratulating Mr Biden on his inauguration, and warmly welcomed his decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change and the World Health Organisation – both abandoned by Donald Trump.
A Downing Street spokesman added the potential benefits of a post-Brexit free trade deal were also discussed in the call.
Great to speak to President @JoeBiden this evening. I look forward to deepening the longstanding alliance between our two countries as we drive a green and sustainable recovery from COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/Y4P3G74PPz
