PARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday said a no-deal Brexit would be of Britain’s own making and not the European Union’s, adding that any trade pact London cut with Washington would not mitigate the cost of leaving the bloc without a deal.
He spoke to reporters in Paris as German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin gave Johnson 30 days to draw up an alternative solution to the backstop, an insurance policy to prevent the return of a hard border between Britain’s province of Northern Ireland and EU-member Ireland. Macron said he saw no reason to grant a further delay to Brexit unless there was a significant political change in Britain, such as an election or a new referendum. French officials say if Britain requested an extension in order to hold a new election, the EU would probably grant it.
“Why won’t we accept it? It’s simple: because what Boris Johnson suggests in his letter to President Tusk is ... to chose between the integrity of the single market and respecting the Good Friday Agreement.” “And we shall not accept that Europe becomes a sieve, that there shall be no more checks at the border ... just because Mr Johnson doesn’t like ,” Macron added.
