Following its official leave at the end of January, the post-Brexit Britain is trying to establish its novel role in the world. The country is constructing and reviewing various laws and regulations, including foreign policy, defense, security and international aid.
Accordingly, the review process encompasses the standpoints of each government department and draw on outside experts. Several highlights of the review are pertaining to defense procurement and the implementation of data and technology for countering national security threats.
Having more independence right after Brexit, Britain should thoroughly yet deliberately position itself in the middle of fast-growing global politics. With the overgrowing China’s superpower up to Donald Trump’s ‘disruptive’ behaviors, the new Britain must adapt.
“I am determined to lead a government that delivers for our people – both at home and abroad. The UK’s institutions, expertise, leadership and values are renowned around the world,” said PM Boris Johnson.
Adding the statement, the prime minister believes that there are various window opportunities open for the country. That, if and only if the country can adapt well.
“But we cannot rest on our laurels. We must do more to adapt. We will be judged by how we respond to the opportunities ahead.”

Post-Brexit Britain and Its Relationship with the European Union (EU)
Despite the success of Brexit, Britain is still unable to completely cut the ties with the European Union (EU). In other words, it still has to deal with the EU until the end of this year.
That said, it is not an utter bad news for the country. For the moment, Britain can have more time before it sets out its new trade and foreign policies.
During its time with the EU, Britain kind of had a love-hate relationship. To elaborate, it received many benefits yet, at the same time, limitations in regulating the country.
Britain had been part of EU for more than four decades. It has been trying to quit the Union for more than three years. After a long and taxing bureaucracy, PM Boris Johnson is glad that, at last, Britain can regain its fully control.
