The White House said the deal will expand access to the US market in the United Kingdom by $ 5 billion, including $ 250 million for agricultural products such as beef. American and UK governments are also committed to enhancing access to industrial and agricultural markets.

“Its value cannot be reduced … how important this deal is and what this means for American farmers and livestock breeders,” said Agricultural Minister Brock Rollins. “Especially beef, this will significantly increase our cow meat exports. To be very clear, American beef is the safest, the best quality and crown jewel for American cultivation of the world.”
