British farmers fear Boris Johnson will surrender UK food standards to Trump in talks with 'fearsome' US negotiators

that it would not "compromise on our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food standards."

Nick von Westenholz, the NFU's Brexit director, told Business Insider that while it was "very reassuring" to hear statements from Johnson and his ministers, the union representing farmers is still concerned about what the prime minister will actually do when free trade negotiations with the US get underway.

"Let's be honest: the UK government is going to come under tremendous pressure on some of these issues [in negotiations]." NFU President Minette Batters said it would tell ministers to "hold the line that they will uphold British farming's high standards in trade deals, and crucially they must hold imports entering the country to that same standard."

Von Westenholz told Business Insider that the US was not the only negotiation which the NFU was concerned about.
