The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (U.K), Boris Johnson, reacted to the trade negotiation between the U.K and the European Union (EU). For Boris, the U.K does not need to follow the EU’s regulations to land a deal. The British PM said that he seeks pragmatic trade deals.

On 1 February, the U.K ended an almost-a-decade membership in the EU, an alliance of European nations formed post-WWII. The U.K was given 11 months to settle deals due to the Brexit. British people may keep working in the EU nations and vice versa until 31 December 2020.

Before Brexit went official, Boris revealed that the U.K and Belgium had discussed trade deal options for both markets, bypassing EU’s regulations.

Moreover, Boris said that the U.K will maintain the highest standard in market competition, subsidy, social and environmental protection, and other similar things, even higher than the EU. The U.K wants to offer the trade deal different to one offered by the EU to Canada. For Boris, the deal is not comprehensive.

For Boris, the option does not have to be complicated: “deal or no deal”.

Prime Minister of Ireland, Leo Varadkar, urged London to reduce “nationalistic rhetoric”, which he claimed the obstacle between the U.K and future deals with other nations.
