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.”
If Trump is hatching them personally (I can’t imagine why else he could be so obsessed with eggs to go around begging for them all over the globe), you need to somewhat clean and disinfect the chickens before sale…
I’m going to show myself out.
There’s obviously something fowl going on in the Whitehouse.
I remember, in 2025, when the former Whitehouse got renamed into the now Honourable Foulhouse.
