On 19 March 2018, David Davis, Secretary of State for Exiting the EU stated as part of his summary on the Brexit negotiations that agreement has been reached so that UK will be “able to step out, sign and ratify new trade deals with old friends — and new allies — around the globe for the first time in more than 40 years. These will come into force when the implementation period is over.”
For other provisions agreed to by negotiators, please see the annotated Draft Agreement.
