Two British ministers head to the Gulf to discuss new trade agreement

The government said that Britain's new trade ministers visited the Gulf region on Monday in a joint visit for talks on a possible trade deal.

Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and Minister for Trade Policy Douglas Alexander will meet their counterparts from the Gulf Cooperation Council, which comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Trade has been a weak point in Britain's economy in recent years - with business groups pointing to Brexit as one cause.
