“So that’s why our approach to this has been to try and seek new trade agreements across the world, including improving our trading relationship with the EU, as well as with the US.”

Ms Cooper said: “We obviously can’t keep a running commentary on different discussions that are taking place.

"But we have to always make sure that we’re acting in the national interest.”
