UK Trade Deals
It's nearly three years since the UK left the European Union: what deals have we negotiated, are they providing the benefits we expected and what challenges lie ahead?
鈥榃e will now open a new chapter in our national story, striking free trade deals around the world鈥� said Boris Johnson in December 2020 after the UK struck a deal with the European Union for relations after Brexit. The government say these new deals will help level up the UK, cut red tape, provide better investment opportunities and open new digital markets. But, nearly three years after leaving the EU, what deals have we negotiated, are they providing the benefits we were promised and what challenges lie ahead?
