Number 10 has insisted that the UK will not lower food standards to secure a post-Brexit trade deal with the US. <\/p>\n

It comes after Washington published its objectives for a US-UK trade pact.<\/p>\n

The US wants “comprehensive market access” for its farmers’ products that would see more US-made food on British supermarket shelves.<\/p>\n

European Union rules currently limit US exports of certain food products, including chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-boosted beef.`<\/p>\n

If free of EU trade rules, the US want the UK to remove such so-called “sanitary and physiosanitary” standards on its farm exports.<\/p>\n

The 18-page negotiating stance<\/a> from Washington also demands that the pound not be “manipulated” to improve trade income or make UK products cheaper in the US.<\/p>\n

President Trump’s negotiators would also like the NHS to not discriminate against US pharmaceuticals and medical devices when purchasing goods and services.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
