The UK has struck a trade deal with six Gulf states after four years of negotiations, in what the prime minister called a “huge win” for British business.
The deal with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) – an alliance including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates – would boost the economy by £3.7bn a year and eventually increase domestic wages by £1.9 billion annually, the government said.
