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.”
He’s doing the same shit with Canada and milk. American “milk” doesn’t even qualify as milk in Canada - has too many other ingredients like BGH and steroids and shit. But he wants us to buy his shitty undrinkable swill instead of buying our own hign quality dairy. No thanks!
The Tyson lobby sends their regards.
Imagine how fucking grand it would have been if this cunt had died from covid.
Or the shooter had sights on his rifle…
I’d rather go out of my way to avoid buying anything from the US, which is exactly what I have started doing.
who the FUCK would buy chicken from the US? if you want chicken you buy it from japan where you can eat it raw if you wanted to.
EDIT: To clarify, I’m supporting the idea that the UK ignore Trump’s ultimatum. Like “Oh no, you’re saying we have to listen to your demands or be tarriffed? Anyways…”
Europe, tariffs and chicken, this brings some deja vu
Probably trying to make a buck off blighted fetid fowl.
[T]he U.S. discards nearly 60 million tons—or 120 billion pounds—of food annually, amounting to about 40% of the national food supply. This equates to 325 pounds of waste per person, or the equivalent of each American throwing away 975 average-sized apples every year. Alarmingly, food waste is the largest component of municipal solid waste in landfills, making up 22% of the total. The environmental cost is staggering, with food waste generating methane emissions that significantly contribute to climate change. - forbes link from jan '25
