LONDON (Reuters) - Brexit trade negotiations are in a difficult process, and only if the European Union understands that Britain is a sovereign nation will an agreement be reached, said Business Secretary Alok Sharma.
"We're at a critical stage," Sky TV told Sharma. "It is fair to say that we are in a difficult phase, that there are still some difficult problems to solve."
"We have always said right from the beginning of this process that only if the EU recognizes that the UK is a sovereign independent nation can an agreement be reached," Sharma said. "It is on the basis of that a deal will be done."
