This is the third of a series of weekly briefings Open Europe will publish analysing key Brexit, UK and EU developments.

He said that Washington was eager to agree a post-Brexit free trade deal with the UK. Describing the UK as “first in line” for a deal, he even suggested the prospect of ‘sector-by-sector’ deals to isolate areas which are more challenging to negotiate, such as agriculture or financial services.
