Brexit is the nickname given to the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. The decision was made after a referendum on June 23, 2016, in which 51.9% of voters chose to leave the EU. Leaving the EU has been long and complicated, with negotiations between the UK and the EU on issues such as trade, immigration, and security. The UK officially left the EU on January 31, 2020, but a transition period is in place until December 31, 2020. During this time, negotiations were held to determine the future relationship between the UK and the EU.
