The Brexit Secretary says the United Kingdom will only pay what is legally due to the European Union, and ‘not just what the EU wants’.

In an interview on Good Morning Britain (ITV), David Davis reacted to a piece in the Financial Times, claiming that the so-called ‘divorce bill’ will cost more than the originally speculated €60 billion.

Mr. Davis says that while negotiations have not officially begun, both parties will need to ‘lay down’ what each other wants as part of Brexit.

He emphasized: ‘We will not be paying €100 billion’.

Meanwhile, the EU’s chief negotiator, Michael Barnier, says that when guidelines for the settlement are clear, this ‘bill’ is ‘not a punishment’ – merely a means to resolve issues with Britain.

Mr. Barnier has said that the issue of payment is a matter of Britain settling its accounts.
