USTR Says She and UK Trade Minister Working Together on China

The Airbus settlement paves the way for collaboration on shared challenges, "including those posed by the anti-competitive practices of China and other non-market economies," U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said she and British Trade Secretary Liz Truss agreed during their meeting July 13. According to the USTR's readout of the meeting, both leaders "stressed the importance of fair competition in the global economy and agreed to work together both bilaterally and through multilateral fora to promote fair competition, enhance the international trade system, and address forced labor issues. Ambassador Tai and Secretary Truss committed to continue strengthening the trade and economic partnership between the United States and United Kingdom."
