Fox News appears to have removed their DOW ticker in a pattern for the company, choosing to block out the steep drop in DOW points after Trump’s tariff announcement

Trump tells UK to buy chlorinated chicken from US if it wants tariff relief

submitted by https://feddit.org/u/RockBottom

Britain must allow US chlorine-washed chicken into UK markets if it wants relief from sweeping tariffs, Donald Trump has indicated.

It comes after the UK failed to avoid tariffs imposed on the global economy, with the US president slapping a 10 per cent levies on all British exports to the United States.

In a statement published alongside the tariff announcement, the White House said: “The UK maintains non-science-based standards that severely restrict US exports of safe, high-quality beef and poultry products.”

It suggested that Britain’s ban on chlorinated chicken was among a range of “non-tariff barriers” that limit the US’s ability to trade.

The UK has long ruled out allowing imports of chlorine-washed chicken from the US due to health concerns, with Downing Street on Thursday reiterating its manifesto commitment to high food standards.

Asked whether the UK could allow imports of chlorine washed chicken in order to appease the US, the prime minister’s officials spokesperson said: “Our position on that is unchanged. You’ve got the manifesto commitment on food standards, which obviously remains.”

The last major polling done on the issue, conducted in 2020, revealed that 80 per cent of Britons are opposed to allowing imports to the UK, and the same proportion is also against allowing chicken products that have been farmed using hormones.

There is also growing pressure from the farming industry to rule out concessions on the issue, amid fears it could undercut British farmers and drive down food standards.

Nigel Farage admitted he would allow American chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of a free trade deal with the US.

Trump imposes tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands near Antarctica

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/MicroWave

Summary

Donald Trump imposed a 10% tariff on goods from Heard Island and McDonald Islands—remote, uninhabited Australian territories near Antarctica—despite their lack of human activity or exports.

The White House listed them among “countries” facing new trade tariffs. Australia’s Prime Minister said, “Nowhere on Earth is safe.”

Other Australian external territories, like Norfolk Island, were hit harder, facing tariffs up to 29%.

Conflicting data show improbable exports from these islands, including $1.4m in “machinery and electrical” goods from Heard and McDonald Islands in 2022.
