Brexit offers opportunity for greater UK-Africa trade

The UK’s imminent departure from the European Union (EU) could enable it to negotiate better bilateral trade deals with traditional partners in Africa, according to a report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Africa. Newcastle Central MP Chi Onwurah, who chairs the APPG, told the report launch in London on 28 February that Brexit was an opportunity for the UK to re-evaluate its trading terms with African countries.
