EU: Britain's New Brexit Plans Not Good Enough

Henry Ridgwell

   LONDON - The European Union has reacted with skepticism to new
   proposals from Britain for a deal to leave the bloc.
   British Prime Minister Boris Johnson outlined the plans Tuesday, saying
   they were aimed at breaking the impasse over the future of the border
   between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, which becomes an
   external EU frontier after Brexit.
   Johnson said the proposal was the final offer he would make to
   Brussels. Britain is due to leave the EU at the end of the month.
   Speaking to supporters at the Conservative Party conference in
   Manchester Tuesday, Johnson repeated his pledge to refuse to ask for a
   Brexit extension.
