UK Brexit secretary David Davis accused the EU of trying to drag out the Brexit talks to try to get more money out of the UK, The Guardian reported.
The UK was ready to start discussions on the future trading relationship, as a deal needed to be struck before exit day in March 2019, Davis told the House of Commons on Tuesday.
But he suggested the EU was deliberately refusing to move on to talks about trade and transition in order to get the UK to concede it will pay more money as part of its financial settlement.
“They are using time pressure to get more money out of us. Bluntly, that is what’s going on. It’s obvious to anybody,” he told MPs.
“We must be able to talk about the future. We all must recognize that we are reaching the limits of what we can achieve without consideration of the future relationship," he added.
