EU's Barnier Warns U.K. to Focus on Exit or Risk No Brexit Deal
- The European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator said the U.K. must settle the details of its divorce from the EU before discussing any future free-trade deal or risk crashing out without an accord, in a rebuff to Prime Minister Theresa May.

To succeed, we need on the contrary to devote the first phase of negotiations exclusively to reaching an agreement on the principles of the exit.”
