European Council Donald Tusk warned Johnson that “what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game”. And, “at stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people”. “You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?”
European Commission spokesperson Mina Andreeva reiterated that “The EU position has not changed, we want a deal, we are working for a deal with the United Kingdom and under no circumstances will we accept that the EU wants to do harm the Good Friday Agreement. The purpose of our work is to protect it.”
