Brexit

Brexit refers to the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union, a political and economic partnership among European countries. This decision followed a referendum in June 2016, where 51.9% of voters chose to exit. The movement was driven by various factors, including concerns over immigration, sovereignty, and economic control. After years of negotiations, the UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020, entering a transition period that lasted until December 31, 2020. Brexit has significant implications for trade, travel, and regulations between the UK and EU nations.
