    Quick US trade deal

    “Janet Yellen, Mr Biden’s nominee for Treasury secretary, said the new president had made it clear that the US economy had to be upgraded before more trade barriers were taken down.

    “President Biden has been clear that he will not sign any new free trade agreements before the US makes major investments in American workers and our infrastructure,” she added.

    White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday said there was no set timeline for completing the deal. The administration’s “primary priorities” were tackling coronavirus and providing economic relief to Americans, she added.”

        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
