The US will 'push off' a post-Brexit trade deal with the UK until its food standards demands are met

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer speaks in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington, Monday, May 15, 2017, during his swearing-in ceremony.The US will not sign a post-Brexit trade deal with the UK unless its food standards demands are met.

He warned that whatever happens in trade talks with Boris Johnson's UK government, the US is "not going to be in a position where our farmers are treated unfairly." The US practice of washing chicken in chlorine has become totemic of this issue, with UK farming groups warning that this process, banned in the European Union, masks inadequacies in how US meat is produced before being sold.

"And one thing is for sure, we are not going to be in a position where our farmers are treated unfairly. That's for sure." A spokesperson for The National Chicken Council, one of the biggest US trade associations in agriculture, told Business Insider that this proposal was unacceptable. Asked about the prospect of finalising a deal with the UK in 2020, he said: "If you look at the timing of most of these agreements... that would be very, very quick time and I think it's unlikely that happens."
