Beef tariff

[Huzzah]

USA can export 13k tonnes to us, we can export 13k tonnes to the USA.

What's the point? Shouldn't we just keep it?

Am I being thick or is this as ridiculous as it sounds?

Well if one side is shipping 13k tonnes of dicks and balls for cheap burgers and the other is shipping 13k tonnes of prime Angus fillet…

They will probably just elect it president.

Consumer preferences or prices for equivalent goods may make transactions in both directions economically desirable. The US may value the perceived quality of certain breeds of scotch beef for example . Since we don’t have a communist command economy we should help our businesses maximize returns on their product.

Can. Doesn’t mean either will does it? Yes it’s as ridiculous as it sounds but have you seen their president and heard him speak.

U.S bred Waygu might have a nice price effect on the UK market.

Personally I was more interested in U.S shellfish like Lobster and Crayfish but that would be off topic.

UK will export higher quality "grass fed" hormone-free beef.

UK will import cheap mince.

I'm pretty sure we haven't relaxed our position on hormones or chicken hygieiene. I'm sure some US farmers will be compliant and a few years later there'll be a scandal.
