SYDNEY: Australia’s prime minister has hoped to ink first bilateral trade deals with the UK after Brexit.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Thursday he and Johnson are both looking forward to meeting at the Group of 7 summit in France next month and to “moving very quickly, when the opportunity presents” to reach a trade deal.
Morrison told reporters that “this is a time of change for the United Kingdom” and Johnson “will bring a new opportunity … to resolve what had been some very difficult issues.”
Morrison says it is in the interests of the “broader global economy” that Britain and Europe resolve outstanding Brexit issues.
