Campaign reply - The NHS and Trump


I have recently had constituents contact me as part of a number of campaigns regarding President Trump, his comments on the NHS during the recent State Visit, and any future trade agreements with the US.

I am pleased to confirm that President Trump retracted his comments regarding the NHS, on national television the day after he said them.

I disagree with a number of things that President Trump stands for, and if he had stuck to his guns regarding a trade deal with the US involving the NHS, this would have been one of them.

I am pleased to see that the NHS is not ‘on the table’ with any future trade deals with the US, and if it was, I would oppose it.
