PETER YOUNG: Sunak’s trade agreement with the United States a considerable success for his administration

STUDYING the US media coverage of last week’s two-day visit to Washington by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, I was struck by comments that somehow the UK had turned in on itself after withdrawing from the European Union.
