Britain is looking at all bilateral tools for increasing trade ties with the United States, but it also wants to steer Washington from a trade policy that is too protectionist, British trade minister Liam Fox said on Thursday.
"It`s very important that we keep the United States oriented towards an open free trading approach because it is the world`s biggest economy and what happens there will affect everybody else," Fox told an audience of diplomats and academics in Geneva.
"So I think directing the debate away from some of the protectionist noises into a free market rules-based debate is a very important discussion for us to have."
