Any free-trade deal with the United States must protect Britain's cherished National Health Service, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government declared Sunday as it published an outline of its negotiating objectives for the transatlantic deal. The British government estimates its economy will get a 3.4 billion-pound ($4.3 billion) boost and trade between the close allies will increase by 15.3 billion pounds ($19.6 billion) if trade barriers between the United Kingdom and the United States are removed. Among objectives outlined Sunday were a clear statement saying that British negotiators would protect the state-funded National Health Service.
