UK, New Zealand Near Post-Brexit Trade Deal

The United Kingdom and New Zealand are close to wrapping up a trade deal following Britain's departure from the European Union, U.K. International Trade Secretary Liz Truss confirmed to the Daily Express Aug. 1. Truss completed the most recent round of trade talks with New Zealand last week, saying the two sides are "closing in on a deal which would be one of the most advanced struck by any nation." The Daily Express also pegged the talks as another step by the U.K. to join the 11-member Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.
