Post-Brexit talks (once again) are a game of chicken — and no one wants to blink
The EU seems to have accepted that the U.K. won't seek an extension of the transition period, which ends December 31. That means June — the original deadline for an extension request — is no longer an important cut-off date, and leaves just a couple of months to negotiate a deal which has to be ready by October in order for both sides to ratify it in time.
A senior U.K. official close to the negotiations dismissed that suggestion, saying “I’d hesitate to call it progress to be honest.” The U.K. also said it intends to publish all of its draft legal texts next week | Daniel Leal-Olivas/AFP via Getty Images “We’ve always made clear that if an agreement can’t be reached then trading on what we call Australia terms is perfectly doable and satisfactory. We’ve always made clear that we want to try and get to a deal and that’s what we’re working hard to do.”
