EU’s negotiator says Britain can only get a free-trade deal now

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Union’s Brexit negotiator said on Thursday that London’s stance on its future ties with the bloc only left a free trade agreement as an option.

“The UK is closing the door on itself one by one and the only possible model which remains is that of the free trade agreement, as we did recently with Canada, Japan or Korea,” Michel Barnier told a conference in Brussels.
