France to accelerate preparations for no-deal Brexit: presidential source

Paris (AFP) – France is speeding up preparations for a “no deal” Brexit after the British parliament overwhelmingly rejected the agreement on the table, a French presidential source said Wednesday.

“The prime minister will meet tomorrow with the key ministers concerned to take stock of the preparations and accelerate them,” the source said.

Ministers had already scheduled a meeting to decide on France’s response to the result of the British parliamentary vote.
