BAB Policy and Trade Update – June 2023

Welcome to the June BABN Policy and Trade Update.
This month was marked by the visit of UK PM Rishi Sunak to D.C. In an action-packed 2-day trip, PM Sunak delivered a solid visit, with meetings on the Hill, White House, businesses, and attendance of the annual US/UK Friendship Day baseball match. Most importantly, after their bi-lateral meeting, both PM Sunak and President Biden announced the Atlantic Declaration, a comprehensive action plan defining areas of collaboration ranging from defence, AI, energy, and supply chains.
On a more personal note, we were delighted to see so many of you at the BABN Transatlantic Conference and Transatlantic Growth Awards (TAG) & Reception in London and at adjacent events across the week. We were fortunate to hear from speakers including: Deputy Chief of Mission at the US Embassy London Matthew Palmer; Minister for Investment, Lord Johnson; Nigel Huddleston, Minister for International Trade; David Rutley; Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Americas and Caribbean; Andy Burnham, Mayor of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority; Sir Conor Burns, U.K. Trade Envoy to the U.S.; and Rajesh Agrawal, Deputy Mayor of London for Business, as well as several country leads of major transatlantic corporations.
