Chris Hayward, Policy Chairman of the Corporation said:
“This deal to reduce tariffs reinforces the UK’s position as the best place for business investment, and follows hot on the heels of the landmark UK-India agreement. The upcoming UK-EU Summit presents further opportunities that can be positive for UK economic growth.
“Like many, we will be closely examining the details, but this deal sends the right signals worldwide and cements the already solid foundations of the UK-US economic relationship.
“The Corporation has always championed open, fair, rules-based trade. This agreement is yet another reason why firms and individuals should consider the UK as a safe harbour for investment.”
