UK PM Sunak: I won't sacrifice quality for speed in trade deals

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Tuesday his government would take the time to get free trade agreements with other nations right, and not sacrifice quality for speed in future trade deals under his post-Brexit trade policy, Qazet.az reports according to BBC.

Sunak was asked about comments by a former minister criticising Britain's trade deal with Australia, an agreement which was negotiated before he was prime minister and which he himself has previously described as one-sided.

"Going forward, I want to make sure that we don't sacrifice quality for speed when it comes to trade deals, and that's going to be my approach," Sunak told the BBC at the G20 summit in Indonesia, adding the Australia deal had some good aspects.
