1:13Now PlayingBritish Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the European Union doesn’t want to launch a vaccine battle, despite the bloc warning it is set to restrict exports of coronavirus shots to the U.K.
In an attempt to defuse the tensions with Brussels, Johnson said avoiding blockades of vaccine supplies is vital because immunization programs require countries to work together.
“I’m reassured by talking to EU partners over the last few months that they don’t want to see blockades,” Johnson said in a pooled interview with broadcasters Monday. “That’s very, very important.”
He was speaking after the EU set out restrictions aimed at companies it says haven’t met delivery obligations to the bloc. The vaccine tension risks putting a further dent in relations with London already strained by Brexit, trade and tensions over Northern Ireland.
