I was proud of the reception that the UK gave to the Ukrainian president yesterday.
British burgers and other fresh meat products cannot be sold in the EU. Seed potatoes from Scotland and shellfish from Wales are banned. This is having a real impact on businesses and the agreement on the table could reverse some of that…
That is my view. I communicated it to the first secretary [sic] very clearly, and he has a different view.
We obviously have close conversations with our US counterparts, and what I’m going to do is build that bridge and make sure that we’re still all working together to support Ukraine.
