Prime minister extols anti-protectionist agenda apparently at odds with large subsidies going to the US green energy sector
Rishi Sunak has pledged to make a robust defence of free trade on his visit to Washington DC, while indicating he will dodge any disagreement over Joe Biden’s mass programme of green subsidies, labelled protectionist by some UK ministers.
Speaking to reporters on his plane to the US on Tuesday, the prime minister also hinted that the UK’s strength in areas such as offshore wind made it an ideal partner in the Biden administration’s attempts to collaborate economically in the face of China.
