Key Quotes:
“There’s obviously a legal situation in terms of how the European Union can conduct trade negotiations.”
“I’m clear that by that point at which we leave the EU, it’s right that everybody should know what the future arrangements, the future relationship, that future partnership between us and the EU will be. That’s the sensible thing. It’s a pragmatic way to look at this and I believe that’s what we’ll do.”
