The British and American governments have announced the beginnings of a trade deal - but most of the details are still to be agreed.
We know that Donald Trump is pushing for a deeper deal which puts big business ahead of protecting people and the environment. The US is demanding:
- Lower food standards, including chlorinated chicken and hormone-fed beef which are not allowed in the UK,
- Access to our NHS, including private contracts and patient data,
- Scrapping Big Tech rules, meaning we lose control of how to tax and regulate tech giants like Meta and X, including on AI.
The US administration has been using the threat of tariffs as a negotiating tool, trying to bully us into changing our rules and regulations. We must not give in.
Sign the petition to the UK government now to urge it not to do a toxic trade deal with Donald Trump.
