    Summary CITP publication

    In response to this inquiry by the House of Lords International Agreements Committee on "General Terms for the UK-US Economic Prosperity Deal", our evidence reviews the impact of this deal including its implications to the UK’s future trade relationships, compatibility with WTO rules and how Parliament can assess the value and scrutinise future agreements of this nature. Our key points include: While the UK seeks short-term gains through flexible, non-binding agreements like the EPD, such deals risk undermining the global rules-based trading system. This approach could lead to increased economic conflict and supply chain disruptions, particularly as preferential arrangements (e.g., for US ethanol) affect other partners. The UK, as a smaller economy, would be better served by upholding multilateral principles, including legal enforceability and non-discrimination. Aligning too closely with the US—especially on supply chain security and China-related trade controls—could damage relations with other key partners, including the EU.

    House of Commons Business and Trade Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls consultation inquiry into UK economic security

    By Minako Morita Jaeger, Sunayana Sasmal and Achyuth Anil et al.

    Summary CITP publication

    In response to this inquiry scrutinising the approach to economic security within Government, our evidence focuses on the need for a clear strategy for economic security based on principles that reflect the UK’s economic and security priorities, strategic sectors and policy measures. To promote international partnerships through trade agreements, the UK government should explore avenues for diversification, transparency, and early-warning mechanisms to prevent over-reliance on a single country. For example, the UK must work closely with the EU, Japan, Canada and Australia to counter the US’s economic coercion. Furthermore, the UK could extend its economic security partnerships, such as South Korea, India and ASEAN. The UK should ultimately give serious consideration to a dedicated anti-coercion instrument.
