UK officials are adjusting their approach to handling sensitive trade documents to prevent them from being exposed to US entities, particularly in light of increasing tensions under Donald Trump's administration. The new measures include raising the classification levels of certain documents to 'secret' or 'top secret' and implementing stricter guidelines for sharing information. This shift reflects a strained 'special relationship' between the UK and the US, affecting not only trade negotiations with Biden’s administration but also the protocols within various governmental departments focused on security.
UK officials are tightening security when handling sensitive trade documents to prevent them from falling into US hands amid Donald Trump's tariff war.
British civil servants have changed document-handling guidance, adding higher classifications to some trade negotiation documents in order to better shield them from American eyes.
Companies with commercial interests in the UK have also been told to take additional precautions in how they share information with the trade department.
If the Foreign Office and Department for Business and Trade are doing this, one can only imagine what the Ministry of Defence is doing along these lines.
