UK, Ireland seek breakthrough in Brexit talks
The British and Irish ministers have maintained that there has to be a breakthrough this week on a post- Brexit trade agreement, as London’s top negotiator went back into talks saying progress had been made in recent days.
Without a deal, around $1 trillion worth of trade would be at risk of disruption through tariffs and tougher rules after the Dec. 31 expiry of Britain’s transition period for leaving the European Union.
That would deliver a fresh economic shock just as Britain and the EU are struggling to contain the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.
