As the deadline for Brexit draws nearer, the latest withdrawal agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union has been making headlines. This deal outlines the terms of the UK`s exit from the EU, including key issues such as the Irish border and citizens` rights.

One of the most contentious issues in the Brexit negotiations has been the Irish border. The latest withdrawal agreement includes a backstop solution that would keep Northern Ireland in the EU customs union and single market if a trade deal between the UK and the EU cannot be reached. This would avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, but it has been criticized by some as creating a new border down the Irish Sea.

Citizens` rights have also been a major concern throughout the Brexit process. The latest withdrawal agreement guarantees the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and UK citizens living in the EU. This includes the right to work and study, access to healthcare, and the ability to bring family members to live with them.

The financial settlement is another key part of the withdrawal agreement. The UK has agreed to pay a divorce bill of around £39 billion to settle its financial commitments to the EU. This includes contributions to the EU budget and pensions for EU officials.

Other issues covered in the agreement include the transition period, which will run from the UK`s departure from the EU in March 2019 until the end of 2020, during which time the UK will continue to follow EU rules and regulations. The agreement also sets out a framework for future trade and security arrangements between the UK and the EU.

Overall, the latest withdrawal agreement represents a significant step forward in the Brexit negotiations. However, it still needs to be approved by the UK Parliament and the EU27 before it can come into effect. With both sides facing significant political pressure, it remains to be seen whether the agreement will be accepted or rejected.
