BRITAIN-EU-BREXIT-TRADE

A sign is seen at the port of Dover on the south coast of England on March 19, 2018. Despite being the UK's gateway to Europe, locals in Dover on England's south coast voted 62 percent in favour of leaving the European Union. Since the 2016 referendum the British government has vowed to pull out of the European single market and customs union, which the port authority fears will lead to massive holdups for up to 10,000 lorries passing through each day. Dover handles up to £122 billion ($172 billion, 140 billion euros) of trade annually, with trucks currently processed in two minutes. But despite no solution being found a year ahead of Britain leaving the bloc, Brexit voters believe future benefits of the EU exit will outweigh any short-term chaos.
