Reynolds refuses that the pursuit of anti-abortion activists in the United Kingdom could block the commercial agreement with the United States
This morning the Daily Telegraph has sprayed a story To say that the accusation of an anti-abortion activist in the United Kingdom could be an obstacle to a commercial/tariff agreement with the United States. The document reports:
On Sunday evening, in an unusual step on Sunday evening, the United States Department of State issued a declaration stating that it was “worried about the freedom of expression in the United Kingdom” in relation to the case of an anti-abortion activist.
He said he was “monitoring” The case of Livia Tossici-BoltWhich was pursued for holding a sign near a Bournemouth Reading abortion clinic: “Here to talk if you want”.
A verdict if it is scheduled for Friday …
When asked about comments, a source that is familiar with commercial negotiations told the telegraph that it shouldn’t be “no free trade without freedom“, A position designed to become a point of dispute between the two nations.
He asked about the story in his interviews this morning, Jonathan ReynoldsThe commercial secretary said that this was not a problem that had been raised with him in his interviews with the Trump Administration on a commercial agreement, which could be connected to potential tariff exemptions. He said to Times Radio:
Obviously, there are things of different people in the administration they have said in the past, but it was not part of the commercial negotiations I was part of.
United kingdom in “Best Possible Position” to negotiate future exemptions from the Trump rates, says the commercial secretary Jonathan Reynolds
Good morning. Just for the “unprecedented” state visit invitation. The real spring declaration, the one that will probably have a greater impact on the United Kingdom tomorrow, will arrive tomorrow, when President Trump announces global rates and the government provides that the United Kingdom will not receive an exemption. AS Nick Robinson Put it to Jonathan Reynolds, the commercial secretary, in the application for the opening of his program interview today this morning: “Suchio to Donald Trump did not work, right?”
In today’s program, and in his other interviews this morning, Reynolds’ response was essentially: not yet. He claimed that the United Kingdom still has good chance of winning tariff exemptions, but only tomorrow. Or that sucking could still repay, not that Reynolds put it this way.
Instead, Reynolds said to Robinson:
We are committed to the United States on the potential for an agreement, because this is in the national interest of the United Kingdom, and in reality they would be mutually advantageous for the United States and the United Kingdom …
Only the President himself will know exactly how the United States will take tomorrow. And you are right to say that it may not be possible that no country in the world will be exonerated from the initial announcements.
But I believe that the work we have done means that the United Kingdom is in the best possible position of any country to potentially reach an agreement.
I believe that the UK companies support our approach. They support the approach to calm head, the desire to commit themselves, to stay at the table, while we can potentially guarantee an agreement.
In the interview Reynolds did not also have challenged the statement that the tariff announcement tomorrow will have a greater impact on the British economy than the spring declaration of last week. Tomorrow would be “a very serious and significant moment,” said Reynolds.
I will soon publish more from his interviews.
Here is the agenda for the day.

If you want to contact me, publish a message under the line or send me a message on social media. I can’t read all BTL messages, but if you put “Andrew” in a message addressed to me, I have more likely to see it because I am looking for posts containing that word.
If you want to urgently mark something, it is better to use social media. You can contact me on Bluesky A @AndrewsParrowgdn. The guardian has I renounced the publication by his official accounts on X But there are the individual tutors journalists, I still have my account and if they send me a message there on @andrewsparrow, I’ll see it and answer if necessary.
I find it very useful when readers underline errors, also minor beating errors. No mistake is too small to correct. And I also find your very interesting questions. I cannot promise to respond to all of them, but I will try to respond to as much as possible, BTL or sometimes in the blog.
