But I also did divorces as a lawyer, and itโ€™s always difficult.โ€The messy EU-U.K. divorce has been years in the making. โ€œBrexit was a mandate to leave the European Union.

UK's Johnson to head to Brussels amid Brexit talks deadlock

Johnsonโ€™s predecessor, Theresa May, came time and again to negotiate a Brexit deal, only to see it repeatedly rejected by her own Parliament, ending her top-level career. Johnson will be hoping for a quick in-and-out that leaves his reputation intact and his country on course for a free trade deal with its biggest economic partner. Johnson and von der Leyen spoke by phone Monday for the second time in 48 hours, as their negotiators were stuck in gridlocked trade talks. Officials on both sides said there were also major differences over the legal oversight of any trade deal and European boatsโ€™ access to U.K. waters. While both Britain and the EU say they want a trade deal, trust and goodwill are strained after months of testy negotiations.

AP Explains: Why are UK and EU still arguing over Brexit?

Her successor, Johnson, secured his own withdrawal agreement with the EU in October 2019, allowing for the U.K. to leave on Jan. 31. The two sides are hoping to agree a free trade deal with no tariffs and no quotas. So it is demanding strict legal guarantees on the governance of any trade deal. The EU fears Britain will slash social and environmental standards and pump state money into U.K. industries, becoming a low-regulation economic rival on the blocโ€™s doorstep. As well as the economic impact, a no-deal exit would endanger everything from U.K. police forcesโ€™ access to EU crime databases to U.K.-EU cooperation in science.

EU to UK: stop playing 'games' with Brexit trade talks

(Aris Oikonomou, Pool via AP)BRUSSELS โ€“ The European Union is pleading with Britain to stop playing โ€œgames" as time is running out to clinch a free trade deal over the next month. A transition period now runs until Dec 31, during which time both sides are negotiating a trade agreement to replace the open and unfettered economic relations that are currently in place. The EU has repeatedly expressed its exasperation at what it sees as British stubbornness and refusal to compromise on some key points. The EU has not explicitly said what action it would take but EU Vice President Maros Sefcovic indicated it would stay within the rules of dispute settlement set out in the withdrawal agreement. โ€œI would like to underscore that the EU believes in calm, constructive cooperation through the channels created by the withdrawal agreement," Sefcovic said.

NATO needs to change to survive, analysts say

LONDON As NATO members gather in the U.K. to celebrate 70 years since its inception, there are pressing questions about the organization's future and its relevance on the global landscape. NATO was created in the aftermath of World War II with the overall aim to protect its members against any threats posed by the Soviet Union. U.S. officials have expressed concern over the company's links to the Chinese government and the security threat it could pose something which the Shenzhen-based tech firm has denied. This issue has sparked division within NATO allies, with Germany and France taking a different stance to the U.S. administration.

As election nears, Boris Johnson tries to keep distance from President Trump

For years, Trump has publicly praised Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whose Conservative Party is hoping to win a parliamentary majority in Dec. 12 voting. And the president is an unabashed proponent of Brexit, the planned split with the European Union that Johnson has vowed to bring to fruition. But the last thing Johnson wants during this visit is an open show of support from Trump. The Labor leader last week claimed that a leaked government dossier on preliminary U.S.-British trade discussions pointed to post-Brexit peril for the National Health Service, Britains much-criticized but beloved universal healthcare system. That drew an angry response from the family of one of the victims, who accused the prime minister of exploiting the tragedy for political gain.

UK, EU agree to new Brexit deal

(CNN) - The United Kingdom and the European Union have agreed to a new Brexit deal after months of tense negotiations, according to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Former Prime Minister Theresa May also secured a deal with the EU, but failed to pass it through the House of Commons on three occasions. Johnson, announcing the new deal in a tweet, said it "takes back control" and urged Parliament "to get Brexit done on Saturday" when lawmakers are next due to meet. "From what we know, it seems the Prime Minister has negotiated an even worse deal than Theresa May's, which was overwhelmingly rejected," Corbyn said. If Johnson can't get parliamentary support for his plan by Saturday, he is legally obliged to write to the EU requesting a Brexit extension until January 31, 2020.

Frustration grows among EU finance ministers over Brexit deadlock

Germany's finance minister has said the EU and U.K. have a "common responsibility" to negotiate a settlement to govern Britain's departure from Europe, but insisted any solution to end the Brexit impasse in the coming days must meet the EU's long-standing list of criteria. Instead, he said he hoped for a deal that would "follow the lines" of an earlier agreement finalized under former British prime minister Theresa May. The pound had fallen precipitously Tuesday after alleged details of that phone called were published. Johnson will meet with his Irish counterpart, Leo Varadkar, in Dublin Thursday. The British and Irish prime ministers remain wide apart on the potential for technological solutions that the U.K. side says will obviate the need for physical customs checks and border infrastructure on the dividing line between the Irish republic and the separate nation of Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom.

Boris Johnson's Brexit proposal is 'unlikely to work,' strategist says

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's latest proposal to take his country out of the European Union would divide Ireland and therefore "is unlikely to work," a strategist said on Thursday. One major sticking point in the Brexit process is the so-called Irish backstop. May's deal had sought to ensure there's no hard border between the U.K.'s Northern Island and EU member Republic of Ireland. But avoiding customs checks there would bind Britain to the bloc's trade rules a point that Brexit supporters had opposed. "If you start putting customs posts on the border in Ireland, you'd have divided Ireland.

CNN(CNN) - Opponents of a no-deal Brexit just got royally outflanked. Johnson's plan is for Parliament to be wound up at the end of next week. If Johnson returns from this event brandishing a new Brexit deal, he will hope to ram it through Parliament in the two weeks left until Brexit day. Because even if Johnson loses a confidence vote next week, he still holds all the cards. All in all, Johnson, seems very pleased with himself, pointing out that under his plan, Parliament will be sitting in the run-up to Brexit and the whole affair is perfectly in order.

Boris Johnson asks Queen to suspend UK Parliament as Brexit date looms

LONDON - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has asked the Queen to suspend the UK Parliament from mid-September, a move that would shorten the time available to lawmakers to block a no-deal Brexit and has been decried by critics as a "constitutional outrage." But former Prime Minister Theresa May allowed the previous session to drag on, as she repeatedly attempted to persuade lawmakers to pass her Brexit deal. "It is blindingly obvious that the purpose of prorogation now would be to stop Parliament debating Brexit and performing its duty in shaping a course for the country," he said. But his "do or die"' position on Brexit has prompted a number of UK opposition party leaders to agree on a strategy to avert a no-deal Brexit on Tuesday. While bringing down his government wouldn't automatically stop a no-deal Brexit, it could trigger a series of events that leads to him requesting a Brexit extension.

New U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnsons agenda hints at a snap election

With Britains departure from the European Union due in less than 100 days, new Prime Minister Boris Johnson is a man in a hurry. Asked Friday whether he would rule out calling an election, Johnson said: Absolutely. But May had also insisted she would not hold a snap election and then did, in 2017. Laying out his priorities in his first Commons statement as prime minister, Johnson said he wanted Britain to leave the EU with a deal. Irish Deputy Prime Minister Simon Coveney said Friday that Johnson was putting himself on a collision course with the bloc. The approach that the British prime minister seems to now be taking is not going to be the basis of an agreement, he said.

Who is Britain's next prime minister, Boris Johnson?

London British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to step down Wednesday and be replaced by former London mayor and U.K. foreign minister Boris Johnson. President Donald Trump has said he thinks Johnson, who is known domestically for an off-beat brand of charisma, political opportunism, and promoting a hard break from the European Union, will do a "great job" as prime minister. Johnson said Mr. Trump was "unfit to hold the office of President of the United States." After the surprise results of the Brexit referendum, in which Britain voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%, Johnson was appointed foreign secretary by the country's new prime minister, Theresa May. "I say to all the doubters: Dude, we are going to energize the country, we are going to get Brexit done," Johnson said Tuesday.

Boris Johnson will be UK's new prime minister

(CNN) - Hardline Brexiteer Boris Johnson has won the UK's Conservative Party leadership contest and will take over from outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May when she steps down on Wednesday. Johnson, a former Mayor of London and British Foreign Secretary, was officially named the new Tory leader on Tuesday, beating his rival Jeremy Hunt in a ballot of party members. As prime minister, Johnson, 55, will inherit the same problems of a deeply divided Parliament -- and nation -- when he assumes the role. During the 2016 campaign for Britain to leave the EU, Johnson was accused of lying to the public by stating that the country's membership of the bloc cost 350 million ($442 million) a week. And last week, both the Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and Justice Secretary David Gauke confirmed they will step down before Johnson becomes prime minister.

UK set for a new prime minister as Brexit chaos rolls on

Boris Johnson (L) and Jeremy Hunt take part in the Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson debate Head To Head on ITV on July 9, 2019 in Salford, England. The U.K. will find out who its next prime minister will be this week as voting within the U.K.'s ruling Conservative Party comes to a close. The vote comes after Prime Minister Theresa May announced she would resign following repeated parliamentary rejections of the Brexit deal she struck with the EU. A "no-deal" Brexit is seen by many inside and outside of parliament as a "cliff-edge" scenario to be avoided at all costs. Finance Minister Philip Hammond has already said he will resign on Wednesday and has strongly opposed a no-deal Brexit, telling CNBC last week that "if the new government tries to drive the U.K. over a cliff-edge called no-deal Brexit I will do all I can to stop that."

UK PM candidates Hunt and Johnson say Trump comments about U.S. congresswomen unacceptable

LONDON (Reuters) - Both candidates vying to replace Theresa May as Britains prime minister said they agreed with her that the language used by U.S. President Donald Trump about a group of mostly American-born Democratic congresswomen was unacceptable. Asked during a leadership debate whether they agreed with May that the comments were unacceptable, both frontrunner Boris Johnson and foreign minister Jeremy Hunt said they did. So it is totally unacceptable.Asked whether the comments were racist, both Johnson and Hunt declined to use that term however. This is the president of the country which happens to be our closest ally and so I think it is not going to help the situation to use that kind of language about the president of the United States, Hunt said. Three were born in the United States while Omar, a Somali refugee, arrived in 1992.

The leaked cables appeared in the British tabloid the Mail on Sunday. But Darroch, he said, was the victim of scurrilous British officials who leaked his cables and of the vanity and vengefulness of Trump. The ambassadorial rupture came just weeks after Britain pulled out all the ceremonial stops for a state visit by Trump.

President Trumps full-throated attack on Britains ambassador to Washington is roiling the race for prime minister, putting the Trump-friendly front-runner in an awkward spot.

I have been very critical about the way the U.K. and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit, Trump wrote. What a mess she and her representatives have created.
