Live with it.
But your wrong - the UK is a sovereign nation and is independent, unlike the 27.
Your ruled by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, your court is not you ultimate arbiter, its the ECJ - you don't have your own central bank, your laws are made by an unelected commission, you can't control your own trading terms, you have no control over immigration etc etc.
We aren't third countries at all - that's just a bullshit name that the knuckle-draggers in Brussels call us to deflect from the real truth, that your just another region of Germany, with no sovereignty at all.
Here is the section on your border taxes that are part of your new Green Deal
Quote ...
Should differences in levels of ambition worldwide persist, as the EU increases its climate ambition, the Commission will propose a carbon border adjustment mechanism, for selected sectors, to reduce the risk of carbon leakage. This would ensure that the price of imports reflect more accurately their carbon content. This measure will be designed to comply with World Trade Organization rules and other international obligations of the EU. It would be an alternative to the measures that address the risk of carbon leakage in the EU’s Emissions Trading System.

See those bits in bold ?
It's called "moving the EU into a closed economy".... if I were you I would start to panic. It sounds like Dear Leader has plans for you to be like North Korea with imports so expensive because of "carbon tax" you will only be able to buy German stuff
