Seeking a Prosperous Deal

"Our trade teams are engaged in constructive discussions aimed at securing a UK-US economic prosperity deal," Pares stated. He emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring any agreement aligns with its mandate to safeguard economic stability and act in the national interest.
