Varadkar, in an interview with the BBC, compared the two sides to soccer teams and suggested that the EU would have the “stronger team” due to its larger population and market. When asked about Johnson’s aim of getting a deal by the end of 2020, he said: “It will be difficult to do this”. The Irish PM added that both sides would have to agree to a “common set of minimum standards” that would have to be “high standards”.
