Jeremy CushingExeter• I read with distress your article (Brexit rush for US trade deal could force tough concessions, say critics, theguardian.com, 16 January). Theresa May said on Tuesday that no trade deal is better than a bad trade deal. For animal products, the EU (and the UK in particular) has high animal welfare regulations, raising prices to the consumer. Higher prices of animal products within the EU versus global prices are often seen as a reason for Brexit, a misinformed view. Smith & Wesson will require that our gun control laws be rescinded as they are clearly barriers to free trade.
