An orderly Brexit is still possible despite the short time left for negotiations, according to German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier, who said he was convinced a soft Brexit was still possible. “We are convinced that a so-called soft Brexit, one based on a treaty, both for Britain’s exit and for its future relationship (with the EU), is still possible,” he told reporters in Berlin, adding that he had agreed with British international trade minister Liam Fox during his Wednesday visit to Berlin that this was the case. The chancellor has been under pressure from within her own party and some in Europe to soften her stance on Brexit.
