A clock at 10 Downing Street counted down to the moment the United Kingdom officially left the European Union — after being a member for 47 years. Now that Brexit's done, here's a look back at how the day unfolded.
London Brexit has happened. After 1,316 days of political turmoil, the UK now stands alone as the first nation to have ever left the European Union.
It has ended the careers of two Prime Ministers and left the very future of the United Kingdom in question. Scotland's case for independence is becoming harder to ignore while Britain's perceived selling out of Northern Ireland has played into the hands of those wishing to see Irish unification. That's just the politics: Britain's economic future and place in the world have not been this uncertain since the end of the World War II.
4 years of Brexit in 4 minutes 04:16The EU's China problem is acute. On one hand, stagnating European economies benefit from Chinese investment. On the other, that investment comes with the potential security risk of allowing state-owned Chinese companies to operate in Europe. And that has implications for Europe's intelligence-sharing allies, such as the US.
The UK leaves the EU, but Brexit isn't over just yet 02:52Johnson's policy shifts could be subtle. But they will color a complicated picture in the international community. A big economy with serious diplomatic power nudging in one direction shifts the weight in a delicate balancing act.The most complicating factor in all of this, of course, is the unreliable figure currently occupying the White House -- who happens to be up for reelection in November.
