Irish PM Varadkar: Possible for us to come to an agreement on Brexit

Sterling rebounded strongly overnight and would very likely end the week and the biggest winner. It was firstly lifted by the “constructive” talks between UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar. Then upbeat comments from Varadkar added more fuel to the Pound’s rally.

Varadkar told reporter: “I think it is possible for us to come to an agreement, to have a treaty agreed, to allow the UK to leave the EU in an orderly fashion and to have that done by the end of October.. Also, “I don’t think this should be seen in the context of who’s making concessions, or who the winners and losers are, I don’t think that’s the game any of us want to play.”

Earlier, they issued a joint statement, saying that “both continue to believe that a deal is in everybody’s interest”. More importantly, “they agreed that they could see a pathway to a possible deal. Their discussion concentrated on the challenges of customs and consent.” UK Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay and EU negotiator Michel Barnier will meet in Brussels on Friday. Officials will “continue to engage intensively” with each other in the search for a deal.
