Trump wants Europe to buy more U.S. farm goods. But if Trump wants Europeans to eat more American food, he’ll have to convince them to swallow something even tougher: U.S. food safety standards. Europeans might buy American software, movies and weapons, but they aren’t keen on U.S. beef pumped with hormones, chlorine-washed chicken or #GMO corn. Pesticides are another flash point. Today, over 70 different #pesticides banned in the EU remain widespread in U.S. farming.
