UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he made a “very generous, fair and reasonable offer” to the EU on Brexit. And “what we’d like to hear from you now is what your thoughts are.” And, he also told EU, “if you have issues with any of the proposals that we’ve come up with, then let’s get into the detail and discuss them.”
Johnson’s spokesman also noted, “We are ready to talk to the EU at pace to secure a deal so that we can move on and build a new partnership between the UK and the EU, but if this is to be possible, the EU must match the compromises that the UK has made”. And, “the PM still believes there is an opportunity to get a deal done, but the EU must understand, in order to achieve that, the backstop has to be removed.”
