Customs union is best, Varadkar tells UK

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has urged Britain to agree to a post-Brexit customs union that will give it a say in future EU trade deals, insisting Europe can offer the UK a better deal than US President Donald Trump.

Mr Varadkar said the post-Brexit option “is the best deal for all of us” and he warned that Mr Trump’s Brexit interest is only because “he believes he will get a better deal if we break up”.
