Commissioner’s stance underlines difficulty of task facing Liz Truss as she steps into David Frost’s brief
A senior EU official has said she does not expect the bloc to strike a migration deal with the UK because of disputes over the Brexit agreement.
Ylva Johansson, the European commissioner for home affairs, said EU member states had “limited” appetite for an agreement with the UK to manage asylum seekers and migrants, citing concerns over the post-Brexit trade deal and the Northern Ireland protocol.
