Britain will not sacrifice economic ties with China for the sake of normalising relations with the US as part of trade negotiations with the US.
The iNews newspaper writes about this, citing a source in the British government, specifying that London will resist any attempts by Washington to use the talks to put pressure on the British government to stop co-operation with Beijing.
The article also notes that Britain intends to continue ‘pragmatic’ engagement with China.
The Wall Street Journal previously wrote that the US will offer its trading partners tariff cuts in exchange for isolating China.
Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin told TASS that London’s policy of balancing between the European Union and the United States risks a break with one of these partners.
