Britain ready for no-deal Brexit

LONDON: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday (Saturday in Manila) that as the European Union Summit in Brussels refused to offer London a Canada-style deal, Britain will prepare to embrace a no-trade deal scenario.

Johnson made the response following the EU Summit discussions on Brexit last Thursday. EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said he would continue intensive talks in the coming weeks and the EU hopes to reach a deal with Britain, but not at any price.
