BERLIN - German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggested on Wednesday that Britain and the EU could find a solution to the sticking point of the Irish backstop in the next 30 days, a possible signal she is willing to compromise with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The so-called backstop, which Johnson wants removed from the Brexit deal agreed between the EU and his predecessor, would require Britain to obey some EU rules if no other way could be found to keep the land border between British-ruled Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland invisible.“The backstop has always been a fall-back option until this issue is solved and one knows how one wants to do that,” Merkel said before talks with Johnson.
Johnson told Merkel at their joint news conference that Britain wanted a swift Brexit deal but the” undemocratic” backstop must be fully removed to prevent a no-deal exit on the current deadline of Oct. 31. Merkel said she wanted Britain to spell out what a solution to the Irish border problem would look like.
