Should the U.K. pursue free trade deals with other countries?
In 2019 conservative leader Boris Johnson proposed a Brexit agreement with the European Union that would take the U.K. out of the EU’s customs area and give it freedom to diverge from EU regulations. Mr. Johnson’s proposal would allow the UK to sign trade deals with the U.S. and other countries. The Labour Party’s proposal would keep the U.K. within the EU customs territory after Brexit and offer voters the choice of staying in the EU in a second referendum.

Yes where needed and with countries that adhere to human rights policies, but resources from the uk should be used where possible to decrease carbon emissions and to maintain local businesses

The UK should seek to create a better trading relationship with the EU similar to those of EFTA and Switzerland, and should seek to develop trade agreements with other countries afterwards.
