LONDON: Britain said on Tuesday that the European Union’s chief negotiator was getting quite cross over the Brexit divorce bill that he thinks Britain should pay but that an agreement would be eventually made.
Brexit Secretary David Davis said he wanted to have an interim arrangement with the EU after the March 2019 exit date for trade to flow in an unfettered way.
But Davis said that chief EU negotiator Michel Barnier had got upset over the so called divorce bill which the EU wants to be agreed before it says talks can move on to Britain’s future relationship with the bloc.
“We’re going to have a long haggle,” Davis told LBC radio. “Michel is getting quite cross with us. He’s saying ‘you should make your proposal’.
“It’s going to be quite tough and difficult. But we aren’t going to be ending up paying the 10 billion a year which is what we pay now. We’re going to sort this out.”

Rohingya ‘targeted for destruction’ by Myanmar, Gambia tells ICJ
THE HAGUE: Myanmar's military deliberately targeted the Rohingya minority in a bid to destroy the community, Gambia's Justice Minister Dawda Jallow told the International Court of Justice on Monday.
"It is not about esoteric issues of international law. It is about real people, real stories and a real group of human beings. The Rohingya of Myanmar. They have been targeted for destruction," Jallow told ICJ judges.
Gambia has dragged Myanmar before the ICJ, claiming its 2017 crackdown against the Rohingya minority was in breach of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
