“The European Union won’t take chicken from America. They won’t take lobsters from America. They hate our beef because our beef is beautiful and theirs is weak. It’s unbelievable” Lutnick told FoxNews in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Wow you're right! I thought it was still normal to pump all animals full of antibiotics as a preventative measure. Thanks for the correction!

Antibiotics are allowed and, unfortunately, used plenty in the EU. Growth hormones on the other hand are banned. As far as I know, those are standard in the US, so farmers can't simply export surplus production.
