US Vice-President JD Vance has expressed optimism about securing a trade deal with the UK, which could ease or lift tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
Mr Vance said Mr Trump was “working very hard” on a “great” agreement with Britain.
The potential deal is seen as a boost for the UK government, which is facing pressure from Mr Trump's trade policies.
UK officials are hopeful that a deal could lead to the removal or reduction of tariffs on steel, aluminium, and automotive imports.
The Liberal Democrats have expressed concerns about potential compromises on food standards, NHS, and online safety in any deal with the US.
