The UK and US governments will form a research group to look at whether new economic models are possible, as the pair talk up the prospects for a free trade agreement.

At a meeting in Cornwall on 10 June, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden signed a new Atlantic Charter, as the pair sought greater cooperation on everything from democracy and human rights to defence, security, and economic ties.
