US again stands up for Britons’ right to freedom of speech; free trade deal at risk over free speech row

Sir Keir Starmer’s efforts to secure a free trade deal with the US are at risk due to a free speech row.

The US State Department has expressed concern over freedom of expression in the UK, particularly concerning the case of Livia Tossici-Bolt, an anti-abortion campaigner who was prosecuted for holding a sign near an abortion clinic in Bournemouth.

A source familiar with trade negotiations has warned that there should be “no free trade without free speech.”

President Donald Trump is set to impose tariffs on imports from all countries, including the UK, starting tomorrow, 2 April. The UK government is bracing for these tariffs and Prime Minister Starmer has admitted that the likelihood of tariffs hitting the UK is high.

Despite the looming tariffs, the UK and US are still in talks to negotiate an economic deal. The UK’s Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, has stated that free speech has not been a part of the tariff negotiations.

However, The Telegraph reports, in a highly unusual step on Sunday night, the US state department issued a statement saying it was “concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom” and was “monitoring” the case of anti-abortion campaigner Livia Tossici-Bolt.  Tossici-bolt was prosecuted for holding a sign near a Bournemouth abortion clinic reading: “Here to talk if you want.”  A verdict in the case is due on Friday.

Asked about the comments, a source familiar with trade negotiations told The Telegraph there should be “no free trade without free speech,” a stance thought to have become a point of contention between the two nations.

An official from the US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour, a bureau within the Department of State, said: “US-UK relations share a mutual respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. However, as Vice-President Vance has said, we are concerned about freedom of expression in the United Kingdom … It is important that the UK respect and protect freedom of expression.”

The UK government has sought to downplay the issue’s relevance to formal trade talks. A Whitehall source said: “We know it is something they have a bugbear about. We are happy to have discussions on our broader, wide-ranging relationship. I don’t think enhancing our economic engagement that is beneficial for both countries is contingent on this particular issue.”

UK Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds denied that US concerns about free speech in Britain had played any part in trade talks, saying that such worries were being expressed by the State Department rather than trade negotiators.
