THIS WEEK—The 4th round of UK-EU talks on the future relationship.

Anything not agreed will be traded on WTO terms, meaning new trade barriers

Whatever the outcome, *SOME* UK-EU trade will be on WTO terms —> new trade barriers in those areas

If no deal, then *ALL* UK-EU trade will be on WTO terms —> new barriers on *ALL* UK-EU trade
