Keyword(s):
Significance Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government signalled that London will pursue a proactive, liberal trade policy globally. However, the capacity to pursue such a policy could be reduced by domestic political pressure.

Negotiating several trade deals in tandem will stretch UK trade policy resources and ability to compromise with the other side. Rising protectionism and geopolitical rivalry will undermine UK efforts to influence the regulatory landscape abroad.
