Britain will not return to trade talks with the European Union next year, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said on Monday, stressing that any agreement had to be concluded by the end of the year.
“We have been repeatedly clear that any agreement needs to be in place before the end of the transition period, and we will not be back to negotiate further next year,” said the spokesman.
