It’s been another busy week on The Grocer!

We’ve been speaking to a number of exporters since Monday after the US president announced punitive levies on eight European countries who opposed his extraordinary plans to annexe Greenland over the weekend. The general consensus was the tariffs could devastate the US prospects of UK food and drink exporters, making their products simply too expensive for US consumers – and this is a market worth almost £3bn a year. So news of a dramatic u-turn will come as a huge relief. It’s been a massive waste of time basically.
