UK's Reeves says she is confident about a trade deal with US

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - British finance minister Rachel Reeves said on Thursday she was confident that Britain and the U.S. could reach a trade deal that would reduce the barriers erected by President Donald Trump's import tariffs.

"We don't always agree with the policy prescriptions and we're seeking a deal that reduces the trade barriers between our countries," Reeves told U.S. television channel Newsmax.

"But I am confident that a deal can be done, that our strong relationship when it comes to defense, when it comes to security and when it comes to the economy and prosperity, means that we can strike a deal," she said.
