Here's a question from Congressman Lloyd Doggett to Ambassador Lighthizer at today's Ways and Means Committee hearing:
Doggett: Do you envision in the agreements that you're currently negotiating to maintain the progress that we made in the USMCA with regard to dispute resolution so that when we're dealing with a developed country like the United Kingdom we rely on a mature legal system rather than a closed dispute resolution system following the precedent that you set in Canada and which is applied successfully in Australia?
Lighthizer: Yes
I take this to mean that the U.S. does not want ISDS in a U.S.-UK FTA. Let me know if anyone reads it differently.
