Rejected petition Reject any trade deal offered by the United States of America
We urge the government to resist any offers put forward by the US administration for a free trade agreement between the US and the UK.
More details
We believe that a potential trade deal with the USA is likely to be highly unfavourable to the UK.
A deal threatens us with the prospect of chlorinated chicken appearing on shop shelves, posing risks to our health and also the livelihoods of UK farmers. The NHS may also by at risk from US pharmaceutical companies. One concession for such a deal may be to offer tax breaks to big American tech companies which would be wrong at time we are already imposing further austerity on the disabled.
