Still in turmoil with global trade and supply chains President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff ruleThe new business strategy is the latest so -called brakes, which the Prime Minister has deployed to try to promote development.
The new strategy – which accepts the current “disturbed water” of global trade – determines how the UK will unlock £ 5 billion for businesses and will expand the ability of UK Export Finance (UKEF) to £ 80 billion, which will provide development as part of the government’s plan for change.
Sir Kir comes 10 days after finalizing most of his deal with President Trump for the first Brexit UK-US trade agreement at the G7 Summit in Canada. Both the President and the Prime Minister hopes that it will be the initial block for many other deals on future industries, including artificial intelligence.
Sir Keir said: “What works for business, works for Britain. This means more jobs, more opportunities and more money in people’s pockets.
“That’s why I have supported the British industry through global headwinds – the increase in major trade deals with the US, India and the European Union that protects jobs across the country and enhances development.
“Today’s trade strategy is a promise for British business: helping firms to sell, grow faster and compete globally. It is about providing growth as part of our plan for change – and to ensure that working people feel profitable.”
The Prime Minister has signed a prominent Brexit Reset deal with the European Union in the last month and a full trade agreement with India.
His next goal is the Gulf state but is also seen belonging to China and parts of Africa.
The last time an independent trade strategy in the UK was in the early 1990s, when the then Tory Trade and Industry Secretary Peter Lily led the Uruguay round to reduce tariffs and obstacles between 123 countries.
The new strategy means that British businesses will be given greater access to global markets.
It follows the launch of the e-commerce trade hub earlier this week, which is expected to increase trade from £ 7BN.
Margo Forgeian, Director General of Chartered Institute of Export and International Trade, who led a two -year work on the hub, believes that the changes will help in 70,000 businesses who are ready to trade abroad but not presently.
He said: “Digital trade is a high-development route for the UK economy. If we give the firms to the devices they need, they will do the rest. This is the blueprint: a reliable roadmap to help in the scale of businesses on boundaries.
“All evidence shows that businesses who trade internationally are more flexible, are more durable, employ more people, are more innovative, and more profitable.”
The aim of the government’s new trade strategy is to make Britain “the most associated nation in the world” and to help businesses to help people to invest money in people’s pockets, strengthen local economies, build jobs and increase the standard of living.
In a clear context of the problems caused by wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: “The UK is an open trade nation, but we should cover it with a new geopolitical reality and work in our national interest.
“Our trade strategy will accelerate our trade defense to ensure that British businesses are saved from damage, while every opportunity to sell more markets under better terms than before is pursued.”
One of its top objectives is to target more mutual recognition of qualification to promote the status of UK as a service superpower – the second largest exporter of services in the world.
It wants to manufacture existing clean energy and green sector agreements with partners including Norway, Japan and South Korea and discover new, deep cooperation with markets such as Brazil, Philippines and Mexico.
The UK is also ready to join the WTO trading disputes, a temporary arbitration system to resolve the appeals for business disputes, a temporary arbitration system, while demonstrating our commitment to an effective rule-based international trade system.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of the US Deal, along with the Prime Minister, was a car manufacturer to visit Jaguar Land Rover, when he persuaded President Trump to remove tariffs on Britain -made vehicles.
Society of Motor Manufacturers and Chief Executive Officer of Traders (SMMT) Mike Hayes said that the business strategy would help the UK position as “Automotive Powerhouse”.
