As trade deal talks between the US administration and UK government continue, NFU President Tom Bradshaw said:
鈥淚n any trade deal with the US, ministers must uphold their commitments and ensure that food that would be illegal to produce here from a food safety, animal welfare or environmental perspective is not granted access to our market.
鈥淏ut it鈥檚 equally vital to understand that whilst protecting UK food safety standards is essential, that can鈥檛 be top cover for a deal which gives US agriculture the access to UK markets it has sought for decades without giving UK farmers and growers reciprocal access back.
鈥淎 deal in which we open our markets to US produce in return for nothing more than the reduction or removal of tariffs which didn鈥檛 exist eight weeks ago would be an unimaginable failure and is not a deal in anything but name.鈥�
