Safety experts warn that US trade deal must not include dangerous American cars
Trade Secretary urged to exclude US cars

Safety experts have urged the government to exclude US car imports from any post-Brexit trade deal with Donald Trump, warning that they have lower safety standards.
The Parliamentary Advisory Council on Transport Safety says imported vehicles should still have to meet British standards for collisions with pedestrians, children, and people on bikes – which many US vehicles do not.
The Council has written to Trade Secretary Liz Truss warning that US safety standards "are much lower than those permitted for vehicles sold in the UK".
Chlorine chicken is just the start of it.
I cant see the point of them even trying to sell their cars here. The hurdles are too high. I cant think of the last time I saw an American car apart from Cheverolets which are made here anyway (I think) and are ok.
But the toads are dangerous enough anyway without importing death traps.
