UK election: halt US trade talks until NHS off table, Corbyn tells Johnson
Labour leader calls for break in talks unless pharmaceuticals excluded from negotiations
Jeremy Corbyn has urged the prime minister to break off trade talks with Donald Trump until any reference to pharmaceuticals is struck out of Washington’s negotiating objectives.
As the US president prepared to fly in on Monday evening to attend the Nato summit alongside other world leaders, Corbyn wrote to Boris Johnson to urge him to give fresh reassurances about NHS privatisation.
