German Chancellor Angela Merkel indicated that there is still time to find a solution for Brexit before the March 29 deadline. She said in a conference in Tokyo that “from a political point of view, there is still time.” But she added “it would be very important to know what exactly the British side envisages in terms of its relationship with the EU.”
Also, on the specific problem of Irish backstop, Merkel said “It should be humanly possible to find a solution to such a precise problem. But this depends … on the kind of trade deal that we forge with each other.”
