Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has told officials the UK should strike trade deals with nations that do not meet European standards on human rights, according to a leaked video call.
He suggested Britain would not reach many trade pacts in growth markets if it only dealt with nations that meet the level of standards set out in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said the leaked audio, published by the HuffPost website, had been “deliberately and selectively clipped to distort” Mr Raab’s comments.
Amnesty International UK said the remarks were “shocking” and fitting of a “depressing pattern on human rights from this Government”.
