Brexit: Emmanuel Macron 'not sure' trade deal possible by end of year

French president says fishing rights will be key point of contention for negotiations

French president Emmanuel Macron on Saturday said he was "not sure" it would be possible for the European Union and Britain to reach a trade deal by the end of the year.

Britain and the EU are about to embark on negotiations aiming to hammer out a trade agreement by the time the post-Brexit transition period shuts at the end of December.
