Navigating relationships via video calls has become a defining feature of the lockdown – and policymakers are no exception. <\/b><\/p>\n

As International Trade Secretary Liz Truss and the US trade representative Robert Lighthizer kick off talks remotely, they’re hoping that a long distance courtship won’t be an obstacle to deeper ties – a deal which boosts output and jobs by cutting the charges and restrictions on trade.<\/p>\n

The “special relationship” is already a lucrative one. More than \u00a3220bn worth of goods and services are traded between the two nations, their companies responsible for millions of jobs on the other’s home turf. <\/p>\n
