YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the U.K. is preparing for a relationship with the EU "more like Australia's, based on simple principles of global free trade," as the bloc has "refused to negotiate seriously."
Negotiations between Britain and the European Union are set to continue next week even after Johnson said he believes a trade deal is now unlikely.
The prime minister said the U.K. will now get ready to leave the bloc’s single market and customs union at the end of the year without a new agreement in place.
He blamed the bloc for refusing to “negotiate seriously” in recent months, but kept the door open for further talks. He said he would always be willing to hear from the EU side if it came back with “a fundamental change of approach.”
Last month, the British leader set a deadline of Oct. 15 for an agreement to be struck -- or clearly within sight -- saying there would be no point continuing talks beyond this week without adequate progress.
