Too late for new Brexit deal, France's Macron tells Boris Johnson
What you need to know:
Emmanuel Macron challenges Britain to come up with alternatives to the agreed safety net provision for the UK-Irish land border.
Macron allowed Britain to seek a solution to the Irish backstop, but to respect both the integrity of the EU single market and stability on the divided island of Ireland.
The EU wants to ensure that it does not become a back door for goods to enter the EU’s single market.
