Position paper on international relations in wake of crisis for USA
Answers
The plan, which obligates Britain to cease following EU rules by year's end, has been dreadfully disrupted by the spread of COVID-19. The British government will have to make a hard decision as to whether to drop its ambitious schedule since suspended negotiations between London and Brussels pointedly highlight the dilemma looming over the former EU member. The EU, on its part, has strongly recommended Britain to forgo the unrealistic calendar.
Last week, the largest group in the European parliament urged the UK government to do the "responsible thing" and extend the Brexit transition period. National leaders including Angela Merkel and Leo Varadkar have expressed deep concerns regarding the withdrawal agreement, which was deemed too short by EU experts even before the global pandemic prevailed.
Had the transition period ended without major issues such as trade terms being agreed upon, the once greatest power on earth could be hemorrhaged by far-reaching consequences.
But despite EU's pleadings, Johnson has ruled out delaying the date when Brexit would finally take effect following Britain's 2016 vote to leave, confident that the country is ready to withdraw from its current cooperation accords.
Some observers also noted that London's fixation with a hard-line Brexit may have contributed to the sluggish coronavirus response, a government blemish that has already drawn mounting criticism. They believe Downing Street's tenacious penchant to remind the public of Britain's self-reliance as well as its own capabilities to fend off national threats have driven the government to take counterproductive steps – including a confused position on whether the UK should have taken part in an EU-wide effort to procure more ventilators.
