Europe has already warned the UK that, if their rules differ too much from the EU, they will have less access to the European market. This includes corporate tax rates, state aid, environmental standards, and labor laws. Europe also warned the UK that they have to do checks on goods going to Northern Ireland from Great Britain after Brexit – as they agreed to in the withdrawal agreement – despite Johnson continuing to say there will be no checks. Basically, it already isn’t off to a smooth start.
