British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman reiterated on Friday that they want to reach a trade deal with the European Union as soon as possible, as reported by Reuters.
“We’ve been clear that we want to reach a free trade agreement as soon as possible – that has been our position throughout the negotiations and it remains our position,” the spokesman told reporters. “Our negotiating position remains the same: we want an agreement that allows us to take back control of our money, laws and borders. We will continue to work hard to reach an agreement today and next week.”
