May will outline her plans in a speech in Florence, Italy, on Friday in which she will call for European negotiators to be more “imaginative and creative” in their efforts to reach the two-year transitional deal, after March 2019, ahead of a permanent trade deal, reports CNN.
She is likely to commit Britain to continue paying into the European Union (EU) budget in return for continued access to its tariff-free market for a limited period, according to the British media.
In a statement, Downing Street said May would use her Florence speech to “discuss a vision for a bold new economic and security partnership and set out the Prime Minister’s plan for a time-limited implementation period, offering certainty and clarity to businesses and citizens”.
