U.K. Officially Leaves European Union After 3.5 Years Of Negotiations

Britain has officially left the European Union as of Friday night at 11 PM local time. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a Brexit supporter, emphasized that this marks a new beginning. The Brexit process involved three and a half years of negotiations, three prime ministers, and three deadline extensions. The final step was a vote by European parliament members. An 11-month transition period will follow, during which the UK will still adhere to EU laws but will work on establishing its own regulations. Travel between the UK and Europe remains unchanged for now, with ongoing negotiations to determine future arrangements.
