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.”
I don’t see it happening anytime soon. To rejoin, they woukd have to accept all the new rules, one of them is adopting the Euro as currency. I’m not sure the English voters would be willing to abandon the Pound. Scottish, Welsh an Irish, maybe.
Perhaps after people start starving? Although the British are know for stoic acceptance of suffering…hmmm…maybe.
Can’t wait for my 1€ coins with Big Ben on it, and 2€ coins with beans on toast !
