The employers alliance behind the initiative, BusinessEurope, has expressed concern at the slow place of the Brexit talks. Despite the commercial concerns, British ministers have intensified their brinkmanship by underlining the government’s intention to leave with or without a deal. The Brexit secretary, David Davis, said the amendment made it “crystal clear” that the UK intended to leave the EU on a specific date. On Friday, the British architect of the Brexit process will argue that ministers are wrong to view it as irreversible. “We are concerned about the potential impact of Brexit on US interests,” a senior administration source confirmed on Thursday.
