Denmark’s prime minister, Lars Loekke Rasmussen, urged his European Union colleagues to ensure that the U.K. doesn’t end up with a competitive edge when it leaves the bloc.
“We need to be extremely careful that the side that leaves doesn’t get particular competitive advantages on its way out,” Rasmussen, 52, told Bloomberg after speaking at an event outside Copenhagen on Thursday. “We all want a peaceful divorce, but when you agree to part ways -- and in this situation, only one side wants to part ways -- then we need to protect our own interests first.”
