Brexit negotiations

Brexit negotiations refer to the discussions between the United Kingdom and the European Union following the UK's decision to leave the EU in a 2016 referendum. The talks focused on various key issues, including trade agreements, citizens' rights, and the Northern Ireland border. The goal was to define the future relationship between the UK and the EU, addressing how they would cooperate economically and politically after Brexit. After years of complex negotiations, the UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020, entering a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020, with a final trade agreement reached just prior.
