India and Australia are among the countries that have discussed the possibility of new trade pacts with the U.K. after last month’s referendum to leave the European Union, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said.
“I’ve been amazed at the number of people that have been in touch with us that actively want to do trade deals,” Johnson told reporters Friday in New York. Singapore and Malaysia also have expressed interest in trading partnerships, he said.
