Your guide is on what the Trump’s second term is for Washington, Business and the World

On Friday, British Chancellor Rachel Rivz held its first official negotiations with US Treasury Minister Scott Hello, and both finance ministers agreed that British officials were “landing”.

Riviz opened the door of Britain, reducing its tariffs for car imports, as well as agricultural and seafood products when it tries to convince the Trump administration to cut its UK export levies.

The indissols are considered within the government government as a relatively share of tariffs, but there is a recognition that trading decisions are eventually made in the oval service. The US has imposed a 10 percent basic export tariff in the UK and a 25 percent cars and steel.

Britain’s representatives stated that the Reivz, who did not meet with the infant before traveling to Washington this week – held a “good discussion” with his American counterpart.

One person informed about the negotiations, said: “Both feel that there is a landing area for a trade transaction, but we are not there yet. The discussion has become more intense, so this is positive. The discussion will continue.”

The US Treasury did not immediately respond to a comment request.

Reivz, in Washington at the World Bank and IMF spring meetings, was approved by some of the financial elite in the world for committed free trade and supplies.

Crystalin Georgiev, head of the IMF director, said: “She is engaged in very tough problems, getting repressing the costs, forcing the normative environment to be more rational, and then take the battle to do so. And it really impresses.”

But the jerk at home is much less popular, and surveys that show that her approval rating has decreased in recent weeks.

This month, yougov said only 14 percent of the respondents said they were positive about the chancellor, and 62 percent had a negative view. The –48 assessment is the lowest Riva rating.

This week, Reivz sought to establish relations with the Trump administration, signaling that some of his problems with the world trading system were well founded.

Speaking at the British Embassy in Washington on Thursday evening, Reivz claimed that the United States had the right to be concerned about the excessive trade imbalance – emphasizing the “problems” related to China’s economy as well as benefits.

“The problems discussed by the Donald Trump administration spoke about the global trade imbalance is very real, and we should turn to them,” she said at an event held by UK Ambassador to the United States, Lord Peter Mandelson.

Reivz added that these trade imbalances were not always related to “transparent politics”.

But at her meetings in Washington, she emphasized that the UK continued to believe in a multilateral dialogue and institution, not in the tariffs, emphasizing the unwanted trade wars.
