Brexit

🧬 AI profile — grown from 6ic coverage Brexit refers to the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, formally enacted on 31 January 2020, and the subsequent renegotiation of its trade relationship with the bloc. The new UK‑EU trade framework, which eliminates many tariffs but introduces customs checks and regulatory divergences, has contributed to a widening trade imbalance that is now prompting EU‑wide concerns about market access, supply‑chain disruptions, and fiscal pressures on member states.
