UK EU Secretary David Davis will warn the Brexit that it cannot cherrypick a trade deal. Speaking after Brexit figures outlined their stance for post-EU trade talks, a top Whitehall official said the UK plans to treat goods and services as inseparable. The official also dismissed the idea that Britain will have to pick between a simple trade agreement, focused on goods, or a more extensive agreement within the single market and customs union. Instead, many foreign governments want a "fully functioning" economic relationship with Britain, beyond the more rigid suggestions put forward by the European Commission, the official added.
