Brexit: A trade negotiator's nightmare

In the Balance

Available for over a year

What impact will the UK general election have on Brexit trade talks? Jason Langrish, who worked on Canada's free trade deal with the EU (CETA), says he'd turn down the job of chief negotiator because of the UK "political headaches" and lack of money on offer. Plus, he tells Manuela Saragosa he thinks the split won't actually happen anyway because the two sides are "discovering what Brexit actually means". (Picture: Brexit negotiations.
