UK eyes Wall Street access in post-Brexit trade deal with US

London

THE UK is eyeing a deal with the US to give London-based banks free access to Wall Street, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said as he predicted Britain's economy would thrive even without a Brexit deal.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Mr Fox said he wanted to open up commerce with the US "in every sector" including financial services, which he anticipated would form a key part of future trade talks between London and Washington.
