THE government has said there will be no reduction in food standards as a new trade deal allows tariff-free access for US beef exports.

- EMILY BEAMENT

Agriculture is a key part of a new trade deal struck between the UK and US, announced on Thursday by Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump, with tariffs reduced on US products including beef for moves that help British cars and steel.

As the deal was announced, government sources insisted imports of hormone-treated beef or chlorinated chicken, previously described as red lines for the UK in any agreement, would remain illegal.
