Abstract
ABSTRACT The UK is a global leader in Aid for Trade (AFT). Aid for Trade discourse frames it as a solution to development challenges and key to building trade relationships. This article examines the rhetorical value of this framing in pursuit of myriad interests amidst Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and changes to the UK’s aid budget and administration.
