<p>The UK-US Trade and Investment Working Group has met on five occasions since it
was launched in July 2017, most recently in November 2018. The working group’s aim
is to provide commercial continuity across a wide range of sectors, including steel,
for US and UK businesses, workers, and consumers as the UK leaves the EU and explore
ways to strengthen trade and investment ties ahead of exit. The group is also laying
the groundwork to ensure that both sides are well prepared to open trade negotiations
on an free trade agreement after the UK leaves the EU in 2019.</p>
