Northern Ireland criticizes UK trade deal with New Zealand for threatening agriculture

摘要

Northern Ireland has criticized the UK government’s recent trade deal with New Zealand for threatening the viability of their farming sector. On 2 November, Northern Ireland’s Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots said in a statement that the trade deal is a “very serious threat” to their farmers because it will eventually allow duty-free access to the UK market for New Zealand’s exports of beef, lamb and butter.
