The United Kingdom wants to do more business with the United States and with Arkansas, the U.K.’s minister of state for trade policy said in Little Rock Wednesday (April 13).

Minister Penny Mordaunt was scheduled to spend Tuesday and Wednesday in Arkansas after previously visiting Texas. She met with Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin, small business leaders, and the University of Arkansas Little Rock.

According to the U.K.’s Department for International Trade, that nation was Arkansas’ sixth largest export market in 2019. Arkansas imports $124 million worth of U.K. goods, and U.K. businesses support 6,400 Arkansas jobs.
