Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsThe FDF also report that the UK's food and drink export surplus with the US has fallen by over 69% – from £359m to £110m in Q1 2026.This was driven by the 27.9% drop in UK exports to the US, and also by a 11.5% rise in US food and drink exports into Britain.The US are also set to benefit from proposed tariff suspensions announced by the UK government this year, which would make it cheaper for US businesses to export products like chocolate, biscuits, jams and spreads to the UK, while UK manufacturers face higher costs sending products to the US, meaning this trend is likely to persist.“Food and drink businesses are part of the fabric of every community in the UK, and it's concerning to see them struggling to compete overseas.

The divergence/contradiction continues to be seen in not only the latest statements from President Trump himself, but also from the US Treasury: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has insisted that a large portion of unfrozen Iranian assets would go towards purchasing US food and medicine, despite claims from Iranian officials that they have made no such commitment. “Any money that the Iranians get is going to be used, first, for the benefit of the Iranian people,” Bessent told CNBC.
