Badenoch hails CPTPP trade deal<\/h3>\n

Kemi Badenoch has revealed the date for the next major Brexit trade deal which could transform Britain’s fortunes after leaving the EU.<\/p>\n

The Business and Trade Secretary told a major conference in Greenwich that she would be flying to Florida in two weeks’ time to sign a trade deal with Florida.<\/p>\n

With a GDP of \u00a31.1 trillion ($1.4 trillion), Florida is America’s fourth biggest economy and would be in the top 15 economies in the world if it was a separate country.<\/p>\n

Experts have said that deals with US states are in many ways more valuable to the UK than a single federal trade deal with America which President Biden has blocked because it gives Britain access to the service industry.<\/p>\n

Marco Forgione, director general of the Institute of Export and International Trade (IoE&IT) has pointed out previously that 80 percent of the UK economy is made up of the service industry and a US deal could not provide it access to the American markets while state deals can.<\/p>\n

In a question and answer session at the Alliance of Responsible Citizenship conference in London, Ms Badenoch told an international audience that she is a fan of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who has made a name taking on “woke corporations”.<\/p>\n

She said: “I like Ron DeSantis. I’m actually going to be in Florida in two weeks to sign a trade deal.”<\/p>\n

She added: “I understand what it is he is trying to do.”<\/p>\n

Ms Badenoch also used the session as the keynote speaker to launch an attack on “woke capitalism” and major companies putting virtue signalling above profits.<\/p>\n

The minister said: “It seems companies are now competing over who can signal virtues the most.”<\/p>\n
