The European Union's platform is based on the Canadian-style free-trade relations, Politico said on Thursday. The news outlet found Michel Barnier, chief Brexit negotiator, won't accept the possibility to build an unprecedented model for the United Kingdom after Brexit, which implies the monarchy's services sector would be face substantial barriers. The EU's commitments would be "limited," the report said.
Meanwhile, unnamed sources quoted on by the Sun claimed Prime Minister Theresa May may decide to decline to react to Barnier's deadline for an offer for divorce liabilities by the end of next week, but that she would throw in an additional £20 billion later. The move, said to be planned for the beginning of December, comes on top of the pledge of £18 billion, where her cabinet is reportedly counting on a breakthrough in talks before the European Union's summit.
