The UK would need to “weigh the consequences” of any demands the US makes on trade if they risk damaging relations with the EU, the Business Secretary has warned.

Britain has a larger trading relationship with the bloc than America and would be cautious of provisos that may have an “adverse” effect on ties with Brussels, Jonathan Reynolds suggested.
