AstraZeneca threatens to move UK vaccine production to US, FT reports

AstraZeneca has warned it might move its vaccine manufacturing site from the UK to the United States due to stalled discussions with the new Labour government over state aid reductions, the Financial Times reported on Thursday. Finance minister Rachel Reeves aims to cut state support for AstraZeneca's vaccine centre from around 90 million pounds, as promised by the previous government, to 40 million pounds, sources said.
