Boris, Brexit and What’s Next for Britain in 2020?
Dec 16, 2019
1 min
A few short months ago, it looked as if Boris Johnson had accepted a fool’s role in becoming the third Prime Minister in four years.
He went all in, campaigned hard and wound up with a solid majority and a mandate to remove Britain from the European Union by the end of January 2020.
It’s been an astounding turn of events for a country that was left politically hamstrung and a Tory party seemingly lost at sea.
- But what’s next for Britain and beyond?
- What are the actual consequences to leaving the EU?
- Has Britain just opened the door to other unhappy members who may be contemplating an exit?
- And did Johnson’s opponents, the media and the public underestimate his political strength – and what lessons can be learned from it?
There are a lot of questions out there – and if you are covering, let our experts help with your stories.

Canada-U.S. Tariff Dispute Puts Trade Policy and Consumer Costs in Focus
Tariffs between the United States and Canada are again testing one of the world’s closest economic partnerships. New U.S. actions targeting select Canadian imports, along with Canada’s retaliatory measures on certain U.S. products, have moved the dispute beyond trade policy and into the everyday concerns of manufacturers, farmers, retailers and consumers on both sides of the border. The issue also arrives as the United States, Canada and Mexico assess the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, making trade negotiations a significant government and diplomatic priority. From a government perspective, tariffs are being used as leverage to address market access, domestic production and perceived unfair treatment of national industries. From an economic perspective, however, the costs can spread quickly through integrated supply chains—particularly in automotive manufacturing, steel and aluminum, agriculture, energy and consumer goods. Companies may face higher input costs and greater uncertainty, while households could see higher prices or fewer choices. The central question is whether tariff pressure will produce a negotiated resolution—or prolong a dispute that affects businesses and consumers in both countries.

Prince Harry and Meghan Return to England
Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have returned to England with their children for an extended stay after more than six years living in California. While the family is not expected to resume official working roles within the royal family, the move places them again at the center of ongoing public interest in the British monarchy and its future. The return comes amid continued strain between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family, alongside Prince Harry’s expressed desire for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. Their renewed presence in the United Kingdom raises questions about the monarchy’s public image, the role of nonworking royals and how personal relationships within the royal family may shape public perception in the months ahead.
