As a member of the EU, the UK benefited from the Free Trade Agreements the EU withholds with the rest of the world, making global trade less complicated. Since the UK has exited the EU, it will cease to be a party to the EU FTAs and won’t receive any benefits that it previously had because of the FTAs. An important benefit that will no longer serve the UK is tariff free trade.
While the UK may achieve a more ideal situation through negotiating its own FTAs, however the time, resources, and temporary decline of trade which will occur in order to achieve such agreements will be extremely significant, and will come down to the strength and willingness of other countries to negotiate. Nobody can tell if the decision to leave the EU will be positive or negative for Great Britain in the long term.
