“The U.K. agreed a new trade accord with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, its latest post-Brexit deal which cuts tariffs on agricultural products and fish. The agreement, which builds upon a roll-over deal that Britain had signed with Norway when it left the European Union at the end of 2020, also reduces paperwork on commerce and will make it easier for high-skilled professionals to travel from the U.K. to the respective countries, the Department for International Trade said in a statement.”
