UK leaves the European Union

Britain left the European Union on Friday after 47 years of membership, taking a leap into the unknown in a historic blow to the bloc. Britons who cherished their membership in the bloc — and the freedom it bought to live anywhere across of 28 countries. Since the 2016 vote, the U.K. has held fractious negotiations with the EU that finally, late last year, secured a deal on divorce terms. But Britain is leaving the bloc arguably as divided as it was on referendum day.
