British trade minister Nigel Huddleston signed a trade deal with the U.S. state of Oklahoma in Washington on Tuesday, while hailing another accord aimed at easing rules for UK architects working in the United States, the British embassy said.
The trade and economic memorandum of understanding with Oklahoma, signed by Huddleston at the embassy on Tuesday, is the fourth deal Britain has inked with a U.S. state as part of its push to expand trans-Atlantic trade despite the Biden administration's refusal to negotiate a broader U.S.-UK pact.
"The free trade agreement is something that we're very keen to do as soon as the U.S. is ready," he said, underscoring Britain's interest in securing a larger-scale trade agreement with its largest trading partner. The deal could increase British services exports to the U.S. by $55 million per year, the ministry said.
Nearly 3,000 jobs in Oklahoma are supported by exports to Britain and nearly 10,000 people in the state are employed by British companies.
