British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he is more likely to leave the EU under the agreement on October 31, but he is still preparing for a no deal Brexit.

Prime Minister Johnson, who is staying in Biarritz, a French resort city, attended the G7 summit.

When Prime Minister Johnson asked if the previous statement that the "no deal" is extremely small is valid, "the last few days we have succeeded in delivering a message about what the UK can and cannot do." The deal is entirely up to our friends in Europe. "

"I think there's a good chance of reaching Brexit's agreement at this stage," he said.

Johnson had bilateral talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Maclon before attending the G7 summit.

When asked if the Brexit agreement has increased since the meeting with the German and French leaders, he replied, "I am an optimist."

"The possibility of the Brexit agreement is growing, but our friends (EU) have to admit that the EU withdrawal agreement has already been abandoned," he said.

The existing EU withdrawal agreement is totally unacceptable because of the fundamental problems that put Britain in the EU's trade agreements and laws, Johnson said.

He also argued that if there was no Brexit agreement, the UK would not be legally obligated to pay Brexit financial contributions worth £ 39 billion.

As a result, after the 'no deal' Brexit, it is expected that the investment required by the British people will be possible in all fields including agriculture.

Regarding the impact of the No Deal on the UK economy, he said, "There may be some obstacles, but the likelihood of food shortages is very small."

Johnson said in a separate interview with the public BBC that the Brexit agreement was "touch and go" and "it's up to EU friends."

When asked if a deal could be supplied, even if a no deal breakthrough occurred, it could be guaranteed.

I do not want to say that there will be no unforeseen difficulties at this stage.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Johnson reiterated his position on Brexit at the meeting with the chairman of the EU Summit of Donald Tusk.

According to Reuters, Prime Minister Johnson met with Chairman Tusk and said he would like to renegotiate Brexit with the EU.

An official from the British government said, "President Johnson (Brexit 2016) stressed that he would leave the EU on October 31 to ensure that he respected the results of the referendum."

EU officials also said Mr. Johnson repeated his stance that he wanted to leave the EU under agreement.

The two sides agreed on various international issues, including Brexit, as well as Hong Kong demonstrations.

Johnson and Chairman Tusk will meet again at the UN General Assembly in September.
