On 25 December, the UK and the European Union (EU) finally reached an agreement in post-Brexit trade negotiations after months of negotiations to keep Britain out of the bloc by agreement.
The post-Brexit agreement will ensure that the UK and 27 European bloc countries are able to establish trade relations without tariffs and quotas. The agreement reached has helped to protect against losses amounting to $ 894 billion in annual trade between the two parties.
Despite this the agreement has met with opposition from UK fishermen and described the actions of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a betrayal as it has allowed some European Union ships to continue to gain access to British coastal waters.
Some fishermen like Phil Mitchell have described Johnson as a traitor and cheated. The promise to give full access to British fishermen is ultimately just a promise, Mitchell added. In addition, players in the fishing industry were also among those who voiced criticism of the UK administration's actions.
The agreement between the UK and the EU is to ensure Britain's trade with the bloc is free of tariffs and quotas, which is important for more types of industries. But the fisheries issue was one of the last problems to be solved and it was an important point of negotiation at that time.
The complexity in the text of the agreement and the conflicting statements between Boris Johnson and the UK administration have added to the tension.
At the moment, parliament is in talks to pass a Brexit agreement.
