Johnson insists EU free trade agreement can be struck amid no-deal Brexit fears

Boris Johnson has insisted 14 months will be enough time to secure a trade agreement with the EU, amid concerns the UK could still leave without a deal.

The British Prime Minister was challenged by former British Conservative minister David Gauke to commit to show “determination and flexibility” to ensure a free trade agreement with the EU is secured before the implementation period concludes at the end of December 2020.
