British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has commented on the Brexit negotiations, relations with Moscow and the Iran nuclear deal.
“Some of the sums that I heard spoken of were in my view were eye-watering… and they were far too high, now the figure I heard was 100 billion euros,” he told the House of Commons.
According to media reports, the European Union could demand from the United Kingdom up to 100 billion euros ($119 billion) as a final payment.
The minister added that it was up to the European Union to look at the UK’s offer on Brexit and make progress.
Brexit negotiations officially started in June and are due to be completed by late March 2019. Following the fourth round of talks in late September, UK Brexit Secretary David Davis stated that the two parties managed to achieve considerable progress on a number of issues, including “increasing certainty for citizens and businesses,” as well as issues related to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
