Britain is likely to forge its first post-Brexit trade deals with the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said on Sunday, declaring his department up to the task.
Britain is working to adopt about 40 free trade agreements that it’s currently party to as a member of the European Union and wants to have them in place before the U.K. leaves, Fox said at an event on the sidelines of the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, England.
