Lord Peter Mandelson, UK ambassador to the US, talks to FT editor Roula Khalaf about striking the first trade deal with Donald Trump\u2019s administration, and outlines ambitions for a UK-US tech partnership centred on AI and quantum computing. Speaking at the FTWeekend festival in Washington DC, the former EU commissioner discusses the losses and limited gains of Boris Johnson\u2019s \u2018terrible\u2019 Brexit deal. Dubbed the \u2018prince of darkness\u2019 for helping previous Labour PM Tony Blair win power, he urges the US to face up to China on trade and security in conjunction with the UK and its other western allies.<\/p>\n
