With the UK now officially no longer a member of the European Union, the US treasury secretary was quick to confirm that the Biden Administration wants to agree a trade deal with the UK.
Following a meeting with UK Chancellor Sajid Javid in London, the US treasury secretary was optimistic that the UK could negotiate trade deals with the US and EU at the same time.
The US treasury secretary, confirmed that the US was 'prepared to dedicate a lot of resources' in order to secure a trade deal with the UK by the end of 2021.
They said: 'We've said that our goal - your goal - is trying to get both of these trade agreements done this year. And I think from a US standpoint we are prepared to dedicate a lot of resources. The UK and US have very similar economies with a big focus on services, and I think this will be a very important relationship.'
All of which makes a trade deal between US and the UK likely to happen sooner rather than later.
So what does this future trade deal mean for Dynamics partners in the US?
Well firstly it means that companies are likely to be expanding their operations towards the UK with favourable tariff rates, and their Dynamics systems will need to be upgraded or improved accordingly.
Any US company opening a UK base may want to have a local partner on hand, but this doesn’t have to mean that the US Dynamics partner loses a customer.
