Donald Tusk warns Ireland must come first in Brexit talks

"When I was in London last week, I heard very critical comments by Prime Minister May, and others, about the way the Irish border issue was presented in the draft Withdrawal Agreement", Tusk told a joint news conference with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in Dublin.

European leaders should realise that the competitiveness of the continent as a whole would be damaged by an approach that focused on taking a tough line on Britain in Brexit talks, Fox said.

The EU parliament, which will have to approve any Brexit deal, followed with a draft resolution backed by the major parties which says that Britain should not count on being able to cherry-pick the benefits of the EU market- in her speech, May said Britain could continue to stick closely to EU laws and regulation in some sectors while retaining the ability to diverge in others.

He said the most hard issue of the UK's departure in 2019 had been addressed in December.

And said this was hampering progress.

Finance Minister Philip Hammond set out more detail this week, saying it would be in both sides' "mutual interest" to include the financial services industry in the deal.

"But services are not about tariffs".

Anthony Davis Ankle Injury Diagnosed as Sprain; Pelicans C Day-to-Day
Davis exited Wednesday's 114-101 win at Sacramento because of the sprained ankle in the third quarter and did not return. Davis is day-to-day and officially listed as doubtful for Friday night when the Pelicans host the Wizards.

Mr Tusk also said that while the European Union respects the result of the Brexit referendum, the same should be said for the British in respecting the Irish vote for the Good Friday Agreement.

Analysts said sterling was also being weakened by a risk-off mood across markets on the back of worries about a trade war led by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, and by concerns over the impact that such a trade war might have on Britain.

Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman, James Slack, said "we look forward to seeing the final guidelines, and hope they will provide the flexibility to allow the European Union to think creatively and imaginatively about our future economic partnership".

He said: "We are committed to playing our part in exploring this option or alternative specific solutions in a way that respects the structure of these negotiations".

This is a contradiction according to the EU, which has argued before that the border on the Irish Isle can only be kept open if either the entire United Kingdom or at least Northern Ireland de facto stay in the EU single market and customs union.

"That will of course require further detailed progress to be put forward by the UK Government".
