Negotiations have stumbled over fisheries, fair competition and settling disputes, and Brexit descended into fresh chaos this month when London proposed draft laws that would undermine the earlier agreement. “We want to make sure that the Withdrawal Agreement is implemented in full,” Gove told reporters. “But those clauses are there, they’re in legislation ... And those clauses will remain in that bill.”Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said in London that Britain’s focus was on progress in trade talks.
Trade talks resume in Brussels on Tuesday.
