EU says UK won’t get full post-Brexit deal in 2020

Boris Johnson will have to choose which areas he wants to focus on if he’s to get an agreement on the UK’s future relationship with the European Union before his year-end deadline, the European Commission president said.
In her first major intervention on Brexit since she took up her post on December 1, Ursula von der Leyen said the EU is “ready to work day and night” to strike a deal by the end of the year but warned the UK prime minister he’ll have to make concessions if he wants comprehensive cooperation. The German official was due to meet Johnson in UK.
“With every choice comes a consequence, with every decision comes a trade-off,” von der Leyen told an audience at the London School of Economics. “The more divergence there is, the more distant the partnership has to be, and without an extension of the transition period beyond 2020 you cannot expect to agree on every single aspect of our new partnership.”
Despite the desire on both sides to present a clean slate following nearly three years of bad-tempered and tortuous negotiations on the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, it’s clear they’re on collision course.
