Trade minister - Unacceptable for trading nations to 'pull up drawbridges'

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - British trade minister Liam Fox said on Tuesday it was unacceptable for trading nations to turn their back on free trade having previously reaped the benefits of such a system. "Those who have benefited most from free-trade in the past cannot pull up the drawbridges behind them. It is completely unacceptable," Fox said at his Conservative Party's annual conference in Manchester. (Reporting by William James; editing by Kate Holton)
