Reeves vows to defend 'UK interests' ahead of US talks
Bristol Post
|April 23, 2025
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has pledged to “defend Britain’s interests” as she prepares to meet fellow finance ministers in Washington and push for a US trade deal.
Ms Reeves will spend three days in the US capital for the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s spring meetings, which bring together finance ministers and business leaders from across the G7 and G20.
While she champions Britain as a destination for investment, she will also hold her first face-to-face meeting with American counterpart Scott Bessant for talks on an economic deal between the US and UK.
Securing such a deal acquired a new sense of urgency earlier this month when Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on imports from the rest of the world.
