Correct me if I am wrong it was a long time since I checked the progress.

AFAIK, EU/UK, Korea only has plans to discuss and move forward on selected spectrum sometime in mid 2021. No exact date has been announced unlike the US. Which is a done deal. i.e It is not likely any part of the world other than US to get 6Ghz in 2021.

Is that new? I remember Smartphone cant add new frequency spectrum support without going through FCC recertification again . Although that was many years ago.

Korea has rules in place since October, 2020. Certification has started. Samsung Galaxy S21 supports Wi-Fi 6E in Korea now [1]

UK/EU is in final stages of regulation. Final approval for EU countries is in March 2021; and after April, countries will implement it in their rules.

Brazil has approved their rules today! Chile and some other countries have rules in place as well.
