BERLIN - Germany sees an increased risk of a no-deal Brexit next month because Britain has so far failed to come up with an alternative proposal to solve the Irish border question, a government document from last week showed.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly said he would never accept another delay to Brexit beyond that date. He is now expected to table a motion for an early general election. German Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed that issue with Johnson during talks in Berlin on Aug. 21 but the document suggests that the British premier had not presented any fresh ideas to solve the problem.
The open border is seen by many on the island of Ireland and the EU as important to safeguarding the 1998 Good Friday accord that ended decades of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
