UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Gets Brexit Done
Posted on 01/23/2020
U.K Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted, “The Withdrawal Agreement has received Royal Assent and is now law. We will leave the EU on January 31st.”
After three and a half years since the Brexit vote, which included two Prime Ministers leaving, the long-delayed Brexit bill received royal assent from Queen Elizabeth II (U.K). The bill became law on January 23, 2020. The Withdrawal Agreement Act excises the last U.K. obstacle to the country leaving the European Union (EU).
The U.K. and the EU will initiate negotiations in February on their future economic and trade links.
