Britain’s international trade secretary said he will back an imperfect Brexit deal with the European Union, on the basis it can be revised and improved after the U.K. has left the bloc.
In an interview with Bloomberg this week, Liam Fox said he supports Prime Minister Theresa May’s blueprint for close trade ties with the EU -- despite having “reservations.” Getting Brexit done is the priority, he said, because not implementing the referendum result would be disastrous for British politics.
