The U.K. has been intensively negotiating the terms that will govern its relationship with the EU following a “Brexit.” This has been the sole focus of the Press and the Parliament for many months. However, upon leaving the EU, the U.K. will also have to manage its trade with every other nation across the globe (as the current relations with such nations are governed by treaties with the EU which will cease to be applicable on Brexit). The U.K. government had claimed that along with the direct Brexit negotiations, it was also negotiating with other nations and would have agreements in place with many of them.
