NHS is 'off the table' in US trade talks, says Government after fears of drug price rise
Sam Lowe, of the Centre for European Reform think-ank, said the tight UK-US objectives suggested the government was "clearly in no rush" to conclude a deal with the US and would have to make concessions, probably on agriculture....Lowe added: "If a comprehensive free trade agreement is to be concluded, it is difficult to see how the UK does not concede to US demands on agriculture and food standards." He noted that the government had committed to maintain "stringent", but not identical, food standards.
