It is a question of looking in detail at the rules and working out how they can be applied in this situation. It is not as black and white as some are making out.
The government has said often enough that our future outside the EU is dependent on our being able to strike our own trade deals. If what you said was correct, why do you think the government is proceeding in the way it is? Problems are rarely insurmountable.
