With the resumption of crunch Brexit talks on Monday looming large, European leaders piled pressure on British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to revise his offer -- and to do so quickly.
Finnish Prime Minister Antti Rinne -- whose country currently holds the European Union's rotating presidency -- said he had told Johnson it was"important to find a solution within a week" and the British leader"agreed with the timetable". "We are ready for no-deal, even if we don't desire it," he said."No-deal will never be the choice of the EU. If it happens, it would be Britain's choice."
It is meant to guarantee that no border springs up between the British territory and EU member Ireland -- which would threaten the hard-won Good Friday peace accord -- while also maintaining the integrity of the EU's single market.
