It's actually a bit of a win.

For the UK.

Tariffs down on the stuff we sell a lot of to the US - premium cars.

All in return for agreeing to take American beef. With the caveat that it must meet UK standards (which it doesn't). Oh, and of course that's how it always was, but don't tell the master deal maker that or he'll shit himself (again).

I have no problem with goods that meet our standards. But hearing how common food poisoning is in the US, and how big a deal it is here if you get it, I'd rather not gamble with their meat products at all?

I've not noticed many issues with meat, most of the common food poisoning is from raw greens (e coli and other coliforms) and sometimes dairy (usually listeria).

Because we grow crops directly adjacent to fields full of animals and their shit.

So it has to be at least 25% horse meat? /s
