To ask His Majesty's Government what trading relationship they have with the State of Alabama, United States; and what key areas for growth they have identified as part of that relationship.

The United States is the UK’s largest single country trading partner, and we are exploring multiple avenues to strengthen trade ties across the country.
Alabama imported £411 million of goods from the UK, and exported £312 million of goods to the UK, in 2023. Alabama’s single largest category of goods imports from the UK in 2023 was aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof, valuing £130.5 million.
We therefore welcome the participation of a delegation from Alabama in the recent Farnborough International Airshow, encouraging the growth of commercial ties between the UK and Alabama in the aerospace sector.
