Don't Worry, Be Happy, Don't Worry: Jean-Claude Juncker
Theresa May has left the EU informal summit in Salzburg having been told to give ground on trade and the Irish border by November. The EU says it's ready for a no-deal scenario, if not, Euronews reports.
May said her "Chequers" proposals for trade with the EU were the only way forward.
But French President Emmanuel Macron countered: "The proposals in their current state are not acceptable, especially the economic element. The Chequers plan cannot be 'take it or leave it'."
May promises new proposals to reassure Dublin that it would not get a "hard border" with Northern Ireland but warned she could live with a no-deal outcome.
"There is no counter proposal on the table at the moment that actually deals, delivers on what we need to do and respects the integrity of the United Kingdom and respects the result of the referendum, that's what we've put forward," Theresa May mentioned.
The EU Commission president was jovial as he sought to reassure over a possible no-deal Brexit.
Jean-Claude Juncker commented: "A no deal is not my working assumption. But would it happen, than we are prepared. Because the Commission prepared in detail all the elements of consequences of a no deal which could be entailed by a no deal. So don't worry, be happy, don't worry. "
