The UK and Canada on Saturday agreed to roll over current EU–Canada trade deal after the Brexit transitioning period, and to start next year negotiations of a more tailored agreement.

The agreement means that UK businesses can continue their £20 billion ($26.57 billion) trading of goods and services with Canada after the UK is no longer a part of the EU’s Economic and Trade Agreement.
