Speaking to BBC Economics Editor Faisal Islam ahead of her meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant on Friday, Reeves said the government was working “flat out” to secure a trade deal with the US.
Earlier this week, she signaled the UK could lower tariffs on US car imports from their current 10% to 2.5% as part of a wider deal.
