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.”
Another chicken and egg problem.
What came first? The egg beggar, or the chlorinated chicken?
Also, if they have so many chickens, why don’t they just get those to make more eggs?
Ahh right! Because they are Chlorinated!
I think they have to be chlorinated due to the unsanitary conditions under which they are raised. (Imagine a leaky diapered Donald Trump sitting on a clutch of eggs in a chicken coop in the backyard of the White House)
