This is in an attempt to make Boris and his team come round the table next year where he hopes concessions can be made without a time restriction.
In the summer Boris did state that he wouldn’t be returning next year to continue negotiations, it either now or never.
With punch, came Judy. Merkel said yesterday during negotiations for both sides to drop their red lines and come to an agreement. This was due to Merkel being under significant pressure from the German car manufacturing industry.
A spokesperson for Merkel said: “For the chancellor, and that hasn’t changed in recent weeks, the willingness to compromise is needed on both sides.
“If you want to have a deal, then both sides need to move towards each other. Everybody has their principles, there are red lines, that’s clear, but there’s always room for compromise.”
With the evident desperation coming from Merkel, Macron continues to threaten that he will veto the whole treaty if the deal doesn’t meet his own expectations.
