British prime minister Boris Johnson “is expected to try to force Brexit trade talks to a moment of crisis, amid claims in London that Brussels is dragging its feet by insisting that future concessions must come from the British side,” the Financial Times reports.
The Times of London says Johnson said that the time had come to “get us all ready” for a no-deal Brexit, which he insisted would allow Britain to “prosper mightily as an independent free-trading nation.”
