U.S. Chamber’s U.S.-UK Business Council Welcomes President Trump’s UK State Visit as Opportunity to Advance Trade Deal

WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-UK Business Council welcomes President Trump’s upcoming State Visit to the UK as a timely opportunity to advance discussions on finalizing the U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity deal.

Clare Woodman, Chair of the Council and Morgan Stanley’s Head of EMEA, Latin America, and Canada and CEO of Morgan Stanley International & Co. stated, “The U.S. and UK share a commercial relationship worth over $2 trillion, reflecting deep and longstanding economic ties. The President’s visit underscores the significance of that partnership and presents a valuable opportunity to build momentum toward even closer cooperation.”

Marjorie Chorlins, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President for Europe, added, “The recently announced U.S.-UK Economic Prosperity Deal (EPD) provides a strong foundation to build on. We continue to encourage negotiators to reach a comprehensive agreement that not only lowers tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers but also opens up new opportunities for collaboration—particularly in areas like AI and other advanced technologies, digital trade, and economic security.”
