Summary
Donald Trump warned the UK must accept chlorinated US chicken imports if it wants relief from new 10% tariffs on British exports.
The U.K. has long reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high food standards, with polling showing 80% of Britons oppose a ch imports.
Critics argue chlorinated chicken stems from poorer production hygiene, with studies showing high bacteria rates in US chicken.
Farming advocates warn a US trade deal with lower standards would be “devastating for British farming.”
Why even import chicken from the US? You can have chicken farms anywhere, right?
Also I dig in and found this article from 2019, so the US always wanted us to buy chlorinated chicken from them… wait a second. 2019, that was the first Trump Tenure. What’s with his obsession of exporting chlorinated chicken?
