British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will release a statement on the Brexit negotiations on Friday. At the beginning of September, he made it clear that if there was no prospect of a deal by October 15, he would leave the negotiations. David Frost, chief negotiator on behalf of the United Kingdom, says Johnson will talk more about that tomorrow.
Although the British have since left the European Union, the two sides are still debating their future trade relationship. With time running out, EU leaders at their Brussels summit on Thursday called on the British government to “take the necessary steps to make an agreement possible”.
Frost then said that he was disappointed with the statements of the European leaders. He said he read from the call that the EU is in the hands of the UK to come up with a solution. “That is an unusual method of negotiation”, wrote he on Twitter.
“Prime Minister Boris Johnson will come up with a response tomorrow,” he also wrote. Initiates do not expect Johnson to throw in the towel now. They think the negotiations will continue as normal and could even last well into November.
