March 16, 2020 |Tariffs and Trade Negotiations

The United Kingdom and the European Union postponed trade negotiations this week due to the coronavirus pandemic, the European Commission said March 12. Both sides are “exploring alternative ways to continue discussions,” the commission said, including through video conferences. The U.K. released its approach to negotiations with the EU last month (see 2002270064) and was scheduled to begin negotiations this month (see 2002250030).
