LONDON - Prime Minister Boris Johnson will meet his Irish counterpart on Thursday in a last-ditch attempt to revive a British proposal for a Brexit deal that the European Union said falls far short of what is needed for an orderly divorce.
Brexit descended into a public row between London and Brussels this week after a Downing Street source said a Brexit deal was essentially impossible because German Chancellor Angela Merkel had made unacceptable demands. “This will be a private meeting to allow both leaders and their teams to have detailed discussions,” the offices of both leaders said in identical statements.
EU diplomats, though, are sceptical about the chances of a deal. Most expect Johnson to be forced to accept a delay to Brexit - a step that could ultimately lead to either a disorderly exit or the reversal of the entire Brexit endeavour.Britain’s former foreign minister Jeremy Hunt cautioned that a “catastrophic failure in statecraft” could lead to a no-deal Brexit as Johnson would likely win an election and, then emboldened, be unwilling to compromise.
Ireland is crucial to any Brexit solution. Dublin who must approve any plan for the border between the UK province of Northern Ireland and Ireland.
