Brexit Damage CONTROL? Top Reasons Why UK Signed Major EU Pact At The Cost Of Scottish Fishermen

On May 19, the UK and EU signed a pivotal trade deal aimed at slashing post-Brexit barriers in food, drink, and small business exports. UK-EU trade has suffered since Brexit, with UK exports to the EU down 9% and imports down 18% since 2019. The new agreement reduces costly red tape and opens access to the EU’s £150 billion defense fund, offering a boost to UK aerospace. With U.S. tariffs on UK goods still in place, Britain is shifting focus back to the EU for stability and economic resilience. #UKTrade #BrexitDeal #EUTrade #UKEUDeal #PostBrexit #TradePolicy #Tariffs #UKExports #EUEconomy #USUKTrade #TrumpTariffs #BrexitImpact #UKEconomy #GlobalTrade #FoodExports #SmallBusiness #RedTape #DefenseFund #AerospaceExports #EconomicStrategy #TradeReset #TariffNews #WindsorFramework #IrelandTrade #EUUKRelations #BrexitUpdate #TradeWar #Protectionism #EUNews #UKNews Also Read EU Seeks to Boost Youth Mobility with UK Through New Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/eu-uk-youth-mobility-agreement-proposal-011-3803377.html?ref=DMDesc UK central bank scrambles as pound tanks, debt costs soar :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-central-bank-scrambles-as-pound-tanks-debt-costs-soar-3467896.html?ref=DMDesc Truss, Biden seek to smooth Northern Ireland rift :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/truss-biden-seek-to-smooth-northern-ireland-rift-3464809.html?ref=DMDesc
