Liam Fox is making deals in Davos this week in an effort to protect UK business and trade.
ADVERTISEMENTUK Trade Minister Liam Fox said in an interview Tuesday that the British government is looking for a compromise on the backstop and to create a deal that pleases both governments in both the UK and Ireland.
"The problem is that the mechanism in the withdrawal agreement could've caught the UK in a customs union, potentially indefinitely," Fox said.
The trade minister encouraged the EU to be open to a new deal that would allow the UK to remain in European treaties and trade agreements past March 29.
"This is not a time to put politics ahead of our trade and our business activity," Fox said.
