Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator talked tough ahead of a crucial round of post-Brexit trade talks, saying the U. K. was “not afraid to walk away” if the European Union does not give ground on key issues. David Frost told the Mail on Sunday newspaper that Britain wants “to get back the powers to control our borders and that is the most important thing.” Frost and EU negotiator Michel Barnier are due to meet in London on Tuesday for the eighth round of negotiations since Britain left the now 27-nation bloc on Jan.31. That political departure will be followed by an economic break when an 11-month transition period ends on Dec.
