From today's news: *The eighth round of post-Brexit trade negotiations between the UK and the European Union starts today, and it won't be pretty. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will tell EU negotiators that unless a deal is reached by mid-October, the UK will walk away from the table <https://e.newsletters.cnn.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>. Plus, the British government is reportedly set to release legislation that will undermine some of the legal force of the original Brexit agreement. If these things happen, the UK would run into the December 31 trade deadline without a deal. Johnson has said that would actually be good for the country, but that’s definitely not a popular opinion <https://e.newsletters.cnn.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>.

It seems that the UK likes to push things off until the last minute, hoping the Germans will push the French and the other nations into accepting a compromise.
