For U.S. Businesses, Brexit Leads To Uncertainty And Worry

The group, led by former ministers Anna Soubry, Pat McFadden and Norman Lamb, says the UK should be a member of the single market and negotiate a “bespoke UK-EU agreement which prioritises continued elimination of non-tariff barriers and continued influence over regulatory decision-making”. “The present system needs further reform”.

Prime Minister Theresa May vowed she won’t try to keep Britain in the European Union against the wishes of the electorate as her government resumed work on Brexit after a summer break.

“Our aim must be clear: Never again should we allow the chaos of 2015 to repeat in Europe”, Tusk said, saying it was no accident that immigration was at the forefront of the “leave” campaign in Britain.

“We will be negotiating over an issue I suspect is in the interest of other members of the European Union and others to get a good trading relationship in the long run”, he said. “I have placed a presidential ban on committees engaging in discussions with representatives from the United Kingdom”, the unelected head of the EU’s executive arm said at the end of June.

Finance minister Philip Hammond reportedly favors retaining access to the single market on a sector-by-sector basis, while other senior ministers who campaigned for Brexit favor leaving.

David Davis, the Brexit secretary, gave an indication of how he would like a new deal for Britain to work as he spoke in Northern Ireland on Thursday.
