Under the current EU rules after invoking article 50 two years must pass and the UK fully exit the EU before trade negotiations can begin, in my opinion it's a punitive measure designed purely to make things harder then they need to be for any nation leaving the EU. I have no doubt that informal talks on trade would occur during the article 50 2 year period which could then be official trade deals at the end of the 2 years. Personally once a nation invokes article 50 they are on a one-way route out of the EU and the EU has no right to limit that nation in it's trade dealings with anyone outside of the EU. The fact the EU does hold sway over non EU trade negotiations is another example of why I want out of the EU.
