Biden has said it's not an issue for a US trade deal.
Quote:
Martin spoke after Irish officials were informed by U.S. counterparts that Biden has told U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the G7 summit that a temporary U.K.-EU agreement on food standards would pose no barrier to a separate U.K.-US trade deal.
Britain previously has rejected any such accord with the EU precisely because this could make it harder to reach a trade pact with America, where food production standards deviate sharply from EU rules, including use of hormones in beef production and chlorine in chicken.
