It's another case of Johnson desperately trying to look like he's making some kind of deal. Exports of lamb to US were suspended in 1989 in the wake of the BSE (mad cow disease) crisis. Presumably protectionist attitudes have kept it so.
For reference £36 million is roughly akin to the revenue of Eds Easy diner's handful of restaurants in 2015.
In one year... not 5
