The United States and the United Kingdom have had been in 2016 since the British people chose a bilateral trade agreement to leave the European Union and enables the country to negotiate the rest of the continent. The then Prime Minister Boris Johnson observed a future contract with the United States as an incentive for Brexit.

Negotiations began in 2020, while Trump's first term. But the conversations made little progress Under President Joe Biden, Democrat and Brexit critic. The negotiations were resumed after Trump returned to office in January and intensified in the past few weeks.
