UK and EU agree Brexit trade deal

A historic final deal on the UK’s future trading and security alliance with the European Union has been reached, a week before the conclusion of the Brexit transition period.

The decision followed a final call between UK PM Boris Johnson and the European commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, in her Berlaymont headquarters in Brussels – at least the fifth such call over the last 24 ho

The trade agreement running to 2,000 pages is unparalleled in scope, comprising provisions on subjects varying from civil nuclear cooperation and energy interconnections to fishing and aviation.

“We have taken back control of our money, borders, laws, trade and our fishing waters. The deal is fantastic news for families and businesses in every part of the UK. We have signed the first free trade agreement based on zero tariffs and zero quotas that has ever been achieved.” Johnson tweeted a picture of himself with both thumbs up.
