The British farmers' trade union raised alarms on Thursday over the uneven impact of U.S. tariff removals as part of the bilateral trade deal. According to the union, two key agricultural sectors are being unfairly burdened.
National Farmers' Union President Tom Bradshaw emphasized that these sectors have been singled out to bear the strain, even as the broader economy benefits.
Bradshaw noted that while the current situation is a starting point, future trade negotiations must ensure UK agriculture does not face such imbalances.
