French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said it would be “suicidal” to grant the U.K. a Brexit deal that seems better than remaining in the European Union, reinforcing the position that saw the bloc’s leaders reject Theresa May’s latest withdrawal proposal.
He said the so-called Chequers plan, proposed by British Prime Minister Theresa May, would have given Britain advantages that are “unacceptable.” He also urged euro-area governments to focus their energies on dealing with the euro’s vulnerabilities.
