| The UK’s decision to withdraw from the European Union (EU), following a referendum in 2016, has had a wide-reaching impact on the country's geopolitical climate. The move has affected the EU as a whole. While the country exited the trade bloc early last year, the nuances of the agreement between the two entities were finalized in December. With this, the UK became a separate entity from the start of 2021. The split has significantly altered the way people live and work in the UK. The change in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of the foremost transitions the country has experienced. |
