Boris Johnson prepares to take his place on world stage

Associated Press  

LONDON — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has endeavored to lead his country since he was a boy, will get his first moment on the world stage in his new role at the Group of Seven summit in France this weekend. “It’s a calculation on which everything turns.” The Brexit battle has already claimed two prime ministers in a country that is deeply divided over the nature of its ties to Europe. After meeting with Johnson this week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron said they were open to discussing alternatives but stressed that they considered the backstop “indispensable” to ensuring the Irish peace process and protecting the integrity of the European single market, which allows free trade of good and services for 500 million people. Johnson left the meetings saying France and Germany are “crucial friends and partners of the U.K.,” and spin doctors sought to capitalize on warm receptions offered by two pivotal EU members. “Let’s get on with deepening and intensifying the friendship and the partnership between our nations.” The markets responded to the merest glimmer that a deal — some sort of deal — might still take place.
