Boris Johnson won, Brexit will happen, it's now important to safeguard EU-UK trade deal, Belgium PM

Brexit will happen at the end of next month, Belgium Prime Minister Sophie Wilmès told reporters as she arrived at the second day of the EU summit in Brussels.

She emphasized that it is important to safeguard a good trade relationship with the U.K. in the future, and said that Europeans “speak with one voice, one voice for Europe.”

“For that reason, we have to give a clear mandate to [chief Brexit negotiator] Michel Barnier to negotiate what our relationship will be.”
