UK agrees £3.7bn trade deal with six Gulf states

The UK has struck a trade deal with six Gulf states, including Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, which is expected to be worth £3.7bn to the British economy. The deal will remove around £580m in tariffs on British exports, making it easier for UK firms to expand in the region. However, rights groups have criticized the lack of detail on human rights and labor protections in the agreement.
