Norway and UK strike post-Brexit trade deal

Norway said on Friday that it had reached a post-Brexit trade pact with the United Kingdom.

Non-European Union member Norway said on Friday that it has reached a post-Brexit trade deal with its greatest trading partner, the United Kingdom, which left the EU last year following a 2016 referendum. The agreement includes Iceland and Liechtenstein, which are also outside the bloc and which together with Norway form the European Economic Area (EEA). Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg called the deal “ambitious and comprehensive”.
