The UK government has refused to disclose details of a meeting between American billionaire Peter Thiel and a former minister on the grounds that doing so could harm “diplomatic relations” between Britain and the US.​

​

Thiel, a Republican donor and prominent backer of US vice-president JD Vance, met the then-UK investment minister Lord Dominic Johnson in January 2024 to discuss the US and UK “investment environment”.​

​

The UK’s Department for Business and Trade told the Financial Times it would not release full meeting notes because they include information on “Peter Thiel’s views on and approach to a meeting about an important policy issue”.​

​

“Disclosure of the withheld information could prejudice diplomatic relations as the release would undermine the trust and confidence that foreign government place on the UK,” the department said this week in response to a Freedom of Information request.​

​

It added that disclosure “could potentially prejudice UK relations with US”.​
