Rishi Sunak plays down prospect of imminent US trade deal

UK prime minister tells G20 press conference he did not discuss deal at his first meeting with Joe Biden

Rishi Sunak has played down the prospect of any US trade deal in the near future, just days after suggesting he was in no rush to complete a deal with India before he had re-examined the package.

The prime minister also denied Brexit was playing a role in the UK's economic downturn, which he said should be seen in a global context.
