LONDON — British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has attacked Prime Minister Theresa May’s plan for a customs partnership with the European Union after the U.K. leaves the bloc — the latest sign of dissent within her Cabinet.<\/p>\n
Johnson told the Daily Mail newspaper that the partnership idea was “crazy” and would create a “whole new web of bureaucracy.”<\/p>\n
The comments come after May’s Cabinet last week failed to agree on a preferred option for Britain’s future customs relationship with EU. May’s preferred option is a partnership under which the U.K. would collect import duties on behalf of the EU for goods arriving via British ports.<\/p>\n
Johnson tells the newspaper that May’s idea is “totally untried and would make it very, very difficult to do free trade deals.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
