13-14 Nov 2017 Document
Climate Change. UK (Gysin) inquired about the possibility of including reference to climate change in a future UK-US trade agreement
US (Stewart) responded emphatically that climate change is the most political (sensitive) question for the US, stating it is a ‘lightning rod issue’, mentioning that as of 2015,
USTR are bound by Congress not to include mention of greenhouse gas emission reductions in trade agreements.
Action Items
US to share their public lines on chlorine-washed chicken to help inform the media narrative around the issue.
Great so this taking back control thing is;
Higher Drug Prices
Chlorinated Chicken
Screw the environment
Shame on you for wanting this for yourself or your kids. This is Brexit coming home in all its failed glory.
