They want continued support for EU programs - to the sum of $50B!
I get that there were agreements made while being a member of the EU but if you’re no longer a member of the EU (cartel!) why should they continue to finance it without the ‘benefits’ of being in the EU? The EU seems to believe they have a right to continue to receive these payments even though the UK won’t be part of it. It’s called the ‘divorce bill’ and is complete BS.
These agreements only make sense if you continue to be part of the EU - otherwise they’re null and void.
But they don’t want that.
The 44 billion usd is
1. Money for programs the UK agreed to pay in the 7 year budget (2013-2020) that end on 31. Dec. 2020
2. Retirement money for British citizens who worked in eu institutions like Nigel Farages retirement fund
