UK: Barnier dismisses chance of agreeing trade deal in a year (The Times)
- Boris Johnson's manifesto pledge to complete a trade deal with the European
Union by the end of next year has been undermined after Michel Barnier said that
time would be "too short".
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator told a confidential meeting of MEPs yesterday
afternoon that if the Conservatives won the general election difficult trade
talks would not be over by the deadline.
"This is very difficult scenario - not much time," he said, according to one MEP
present at the meeting. "Eleven months is too short."
