In the wake of President Donald Trump's imposition of a 10% tariff on UK exports, the U.S. administration has signaled that the UK must permit imports of chlorine-washed chicken to secure tariff relief. This demand challenges the UK's longstanding ban on such products due to food safety and animal welfare concerns. The tariffs, part of broader measures affecting various countries, have prompted the UK to consider potential retaliatory actions, including tariffs on American goods. However, the UK government emphasizes a preference for negotiation over escalation, aiming to address these trade disputes while upholding domestic standards and protecting national economic interests.
