During their talks, Johnson and Pompeo underlined their commitment to negotiate a strong post-Brexit free trade agreement between Britain and the United States.

Pompeo said a third round of talks on a free trade deal were scheduled for later this month.

"The primary focus for the U.S. will be to see if we can make progress and bring this to a closure just as quickly as possible."

Pompeo said he had spoken about a trade deal with Johnson and hopes it could be finalized before too long.

Pompeo said he and Raab would be meeting the British and American Business Council to hear "how we can get to the right place" to reducing trade barriers.

There are rising concerns in Britain that the trade deal would lower barriers to controversial U.S. exports such as chlorine-washed chicken and hormone treated beef.

Johnson has also said previously that Britain's National Health Service (the NHS) is "not on the table" during any post-Brexit trade deal talks with the United States.
