LONDON, UK — A leading UK farmer has criticised Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for “opening the floodgates” to American imports under a new UK-US trade agreement, despite government assurances that British food and farming standards will be protected.
The agreement, unveiled yesterday and hailed by US President Donald Trump as “very conclusive” and by Starmer as “fantastic” and “historic,” includes reciprocal market access for key goods, most notably a tariff-free quota for 13,000 tonnes of UK beef exports to the United States.
