EU continued to pour cold water on UK’s intention to reopen Brexit negotiation. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told the European Parliament that “the Withdrawal Agreement remains the best and only deal possible.” He added that “The debates and votes in the House of Commons yesterday will not change that. The Withdrawal Agreement will not be renegotiated.”
Juncker also emphasized “Ireland’s border is EU’s border and is our joint priority,” and “Yesterday’s vote has further increased the risk of a disorderly Brexit.” Though, he remained optimistic that “there can and will be agreement with UK.”
