WASHINGTON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made clear to President Joe Biden on Saturday that he's eager to forge a new U.S.-U.K. trade deal.

The push for a new deal came in a broad-ranging call between the two leaders that touched on the global response to the coronavirus pandemic as well as the Biden administration announcing this week that the U.S. would rejoin the Paris climate accord and the World Health Organization, according to a statement from Downing Street.
A new trade agreement between the allies is a higher priority for Johnson than it is for Biden. The U.K. regained control over its national trade policy at the start of the month following the end of a post-Brexit transition period.
Here Is How Twitter Will Handle the Transition From Trump to Biden on Jan 20
With just 5(ish) days left to go before Donald Trump finally leaves the White House and Joe Biden is sworn in as the 46th president, it's safe to say that the transition of power has been neither smooth nor peaceful. At least in real life that is. Because on Twitter, there is a plan for quickly and smoothly handing the official presidential handles over to the incoming administration. Twitter laid out that full plan for peacefully handing over the reins of Twitter governance on Thursday night, and they now differ somewhat from what the company said back in December, so pay attention. First, as soon as Biden is sworn in on Jan.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has spoken to Joe Biden for the first time since the new US president was inaugurated. The two leaders also talked about "the benefits of a potential free trade deal " between the UK and the US, with Mr Johnson reiterating his intention "to resolve existing trade
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that the administration had no timeline for forging a new trade deal as Biden's attention is largely focused on getting the coronavirus pandemic under control and pressing Congress to pass the president's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan.
Janet Yellen, Biden's Treasury secretary nominee, also signalled during her confirmation hearing earlier this week that Biden wasn't eager to negotiate new trade deals.
“President Biden has been clear that he will not sign any new free trade agreements before the U.S. makes major investments in American workers and our infrastructure,” Yellen said.
Downing Street said Saturday that Biden and Johnson discussed “the benefits of a potential free trade deal between our two countries," and Johnson “reiterated his intention to resolve existing trade issues as soon as possible."
The White House in its own statement said that the two leaders spoke about combating climate change, containing COVID-19, and ensuring global health security as well as shared foreign policy priorities in China, Iran and Russia. But the statement notably made no mention of discussion on trade.
The call with Johnson was at least Biden's third call with a foreign counterpart since Friday. The president spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on Friday evening.
