U.K. Seeks to Strike Trade Deals for Services in New Brexit Plan

The UK government plans to diverge its trade approach by maintaining the single market for goods while seeking new trade deals for services, which constitute 80% of its economy. This proposal aims to address the Irish border issue but faces challenges from the EU, which values the indivisibility of the four freedoms. The EU's response is cautious, recognizing the precarious position of Theresa May, who faces internal party challenges. The outcome of these negotiations will depend on the details, including jurisdiction and immigration policies.
