British PM Boris Johnson to inform European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that UK will not extend Brexit transition period
Downing Street said Prime Minister Boris Johnson will call for the EU and Britain to work out"a confident and positive future relationship" by the end of December.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was on Wednesday expected to tell Ursula von der Leyen that Britain will not extend the Brexit transition period, in their first face-to-face meeting since she became European Commission chief. "Having waited for over three years to get Brexit done, both British and EU citizens rightly expect negotiations on an ambitious free trade agreement to conclude on time," his office said.Lawmakers on Tuesday began three days of debate to enshrine Johnson's Brexit divorce deal into law, with few hurdles to its passing expected after he won a comfortable majority at last month's elections.
Until then, talks cannot formally begin on the future relationship, although both sides are keen to lay the groundwork.
