The UK's post-Brexit trade deal with Japan has hit a wall because Britain wants to sell Tokyo more blue cheese
The UK's trade negotiations with Japan have reportedly stalled over the issue of blue cheese.Negotiators have reached an agreement in most areas.
UK and Japanese negotiators were close to finalizing an agreement last week but talks encountered an obstacle in UK Trade Secretary Lizz Truss' desire for Britain to export more Stilton cheese to Japan as part of the deal,Both sides are working quickly to negotiate a new free trade deal before the UK leaves the Brexit transition period at the end of the year.
However, Trade Secretary Truss' request that the new trade deal goes further than Tokyo's deal with the EU in blue cheese exports to Japan has created a new dispute in talks. Britain sold £18 million worth of blue cheese around the world last year, according to the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board. Only £102,000 of this went to Japan, however.
