British Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed on Tuesday that Britain will make firm proposals for a new divorce deal with the
European Union within days, saying “this is the moment when the rubber hits the
road.”
Britain is due to leave the 28-nation bloc at the end of this month, and EU leaders are growing impatient with the UK's failure to set out detailed plans for maintaining an open border between the UK's Northern Ireland and EU member Ireland — the key sticking point to a deal.
Johnson said details would be disclosed “very soon.””
The UK plans to send them to Brussels within days after the governing Conservative Party conference ends Wednesday in Manchester, northwest England.
Johnson says Britain will leave the EU on the scheduled October 31 date with or without a deal.
