Stop the toxic trade deal with Trump

13th February 2020 - 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Speakers:

Nick Dearden – Global Justice Now

Gay Lee – Keep Our NHS Public

Organised by Global Justice Now.

Attendance is free but you are asked to register in advance.

The proposed US-UK trade deal will be a negotiation done on Trump’s terms. The UK will have have ceased to be a part of one of the most powerful trading blocs in the world. Trump has shown he is willing to use foreign policy threats and unilateral sanctions to bully countries to get what he wants. Briefly put, that’s ‘America First’.

It’s more than chlorinated chicken. This deal will lead to cementing the power of the big tech corporations like Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook. De-regulation will rip through the retail sector and unsafe chemicals, practices and goods will be green-flagged for import to the UK. GMOs, chemically-treated and industrially-farmed agricultural goods will become the norm and UK farmers and producers will be undercut by the huge economies of scale in the US with the lightest regulation anywhere in the ‘developed’ world.

US Corporations will be gifted the right to sue our government if policy is deemed a hinderance to their profit making.

We need to stop this deal. Come to discuss how and join the resistance.
