Comments by EU chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier
- UK has said it doesn't seek a foreign policy deal
- There are many serious divergences with the UK
He did note that talks with the UK has started in a 'very constructive' way but here he is also noting that there are still a lot of kinks that needs to be straightened out.
Both sides will still be "feeling out" one another in the opening stages and will continue to keep at their red lines for now. If there is to be any progress, I reckon it will be as it always has been with everything Brexit-related i.e. at the very last minute.
