In June 2016, a small majority of referendum voters tipped the scale toward “leave,” inciting the U.K. to begin steps to remove itself from the European Union. This week Prime Minister Theresa May triggered Article 50, the official two-year process required by the Treaty of Lisbon for any country wishing to leave the EU, making people all over the world wonder what’s to come. When exactly will the U.K. leave the EU, and under what terms? How will Brexit affect trade between the U.K. and remaining EU countries, and how will it affect Britain’s relationship with America? The Harkin Institute welcomes British Consul General Stephen Bridges on April 18 at 7 p.m. in Sussman Theater to answer these questions and prepare us for what’s to come, as Brexit will certainly lead to changes in the way the U.S. and the U.K. interact.
