THE EU is rattled, according to a leading Brexiteer cabinet minister, who predicted that Brussels will eventually crumble under Brexit “time pressure “amid fears in Europe of a huge US-UK trade deal.
Earlier this week, the UK warned that trade talks with Brussels will collapse within weeks unless EU nations “get real” about Britain’s stance.
Britain urged Brussels to adopt a more realistic approach to the negotiations and include more one-on-one “political” talks with the UK’s lead negotiator David Frost.
News broke this weekend that the UK will begin the first round of post-Brexit trade deal talks with the US on Tuesday. Ms Truss and US trade representative Robert Lighthizer will launch the negotiations via video call on Tuesday due the coronavirus lockdown measures.
