U.S. Ambassador Warren Stephens said Peter Mandelson's resignation as U.S. envoy to the U.K. last September slowed progress on transatlantic trade talks, though Stephens credited Mandelson's earlier efforts in securing the Economic and Prosperity Deal framework. Stephens urged the U.K. to move faster on completing negotiations, including outstanding issues on pharmaceuticals, steel tariffs, and Scotch whisky duties.
