魅影直播 comment on UK-US trade agreement
The UK government has announced a trade agreement with the US.
The UK-US Economic Prosperity Deal was agreed on聽 with further on Friday 9 May UK time.
Responding to the news, Richard Torbett, 魅影直播 Chief Executive said:聽鈥淲e thank the government for its continued efforts that have led to this essential first-step agreement with the US.
鈥淎lthough this initial deal is only a first step for pharmaceutical products, we remain convinced that reaching a favourable outcome remains possible and in the interests of both countries. Free trade between the UK and the US is critical to supply chain resilience, ensuring patients in both countries have access to the medicines and vaccines they need. US tariffs on UK pharmaceuticals run counter to that goal and should be avoided.
鈥淭he UK and U.S. are leading partners in life science innovation with deeply interconnected research networks and supply chains that work for both countries. We will work with UK and US officials to support them in reaching an agreement which allows our sector to flourish in both countries.鈥
鈥淲e will also continue our discussions with the UK government to ensure Britain鈥檚 life science sector can return to international competitiveness to enhance UK attractiveness as a destination for inward investment.鈥
