With the result of the UK referendum indicating that the UK agrees to leave the EU, the trade situation has changed a lot, especially in the duration of Covid-19. This paper employs the export and import data of France and Britain between 2019 to 2021. The results show that both France and Britain suffer a deep decline in trade value in 2020 due to the disadvantages brought by the outbreak of Covid-19. Also, the trade value recovers in 2021. his paper concluded that Britain lose more than France to its’ loss of EU membership, including the attractiveness reduction of foreign direct investment (FDI), raising the cost of trade transportation and fewer voices in the European Court of Justice.
