Richard Holden: Biden’s inauguration this week boosts Britain’s new opportunity to pivot to the world

With a new president in place, and the UK’s G7 presidency up and running, we will have a new Indo-Pacific trading opportunity.

Ranil Jayawardena: The trade deals keep coming. And today, as the new EU agreement takes effect, we look forward to more.

We have now secured 97 per cent of the trade value that we set out to reach agreements for first, beyond the EU. And there’s more to come.

Alexander Downer: A forward-thinking UK should shift the weight of its strategic policy towards the Indo-Pacific region

Home to some of the fastest-growing economies of the 21st century, it has never been more urgent to build new trading relationships there.

Stephen Booth: Brexit-related concerns about a Biden presidency are overblown. The reality is more nuanced.

From wanting to tackle climate change, to striving for greater security cooperation, the PM and US president share many of the same goals.

Liz Truss: The naysayers doubted the speed of the UK’s deal with Japan. But it’s here – and takes us closer to more.

This agreement paves the way for what could be the most exciting step yet for Global Britain’s independent trading story.

Richard Holden: The Japan trade deal, future CPTPP membership – deliverers of wages, prosperity and work to my Durham constituents.

They can seem remote from the everyday priorities of people here at home. But at its heart, trade is a powerful way to deliver what people really care about.

I expect the UK to emerge from this economic and health shakeup with permanent major changes of behaviour.

Stephen Booth: Why Stilton matters to the Japanese trade deal – and how talks can bring the UK closer to the CPTPP

Trade negotiations and agreements are inherently political.

What would President Biden and Vice President Harris mean for the Special Relationship?

From Brexit, to climate change, to the World Trade Organization, how would this administration align with the UK government?

Stephen Booth: The UK’s parallel trade negotiations are of unprecedented ambition

While working on its Brexit deal, it is simultaneously cultivating trade relationships with Japan, the US, Australia and New Zealand.

Stephen Booth: Joining the CPTPP is how this country can show it’s serious about being “Global Britain”

While the Government has been focussed on “levelling up” and other domestic issues, it’s time to consider the UK’s position on the world stage.

Liam Fox: The amendments that could kill free trade deals with America, developing countries and the Commonwealth this week

Take it from me that the US would walk away from talks if we tried to make the adoption of UK rules a precondition of any FTA.

Daniel Hannan: To help grow us out of this crisis, we need free trade more than ever

The idea that we should not seek the closest commercial relationship with the United States is unconscionable.

Shanker Singham: Brexit – and why the transition period must not be extended beyond December this year
