TICK TOCK: Kristian Jensen said time is running out for a Brexit deal<\/p>\n
Denmarks finance minister said it is highly likely both parties could fail to reach an agreement ahead of Brexit. <\/p>\n
Kristian Jensen said the deadline is approaching \u201creally fast\u201d, warning time is running out for the UK and Brussels to agree a deal. <\/p>\n
The Danish finance ministers comments echo those of Latvia's foreign minister, who claimed the chance of a no-deal Brexit is "50-50".<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Edgars Rinkevics said there was a "very considerable risk" of a no-deal scenario.<\/p>\n

But Rinkevics stressed he remained optimistic an agreement with Britain on its withdrawal from the European Union could be reached.<\/p>\n
Jensen was asked about Mr Rinkevics' remarks on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.<\/p>\n
He said: "I also believe that 50-50 is a very good assessment because time is running out and we need to move really fast if we've got to strike a deal that is positive both for the UK and EU.<\/p>\n
"Every force who wants there to be a good deal needs to put in some effort in the months to come otherwise I'm afraid that time will run out."<\/p>\n

CONFLICT: Edgars Rinkevics said there is a risk of a no deal<\/p>\n
He went on to describe Theresa May's Chequers plan as a "realistic proposal for good negotiations".<\/p>\n
He said: \u201dWe need to go into a lot of details but I think it's a very positive step forward and a necessary step.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Jensen refused to say whether new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt would be easier to work with than Boris Johnson. <\/p>\n
He added: "I do believe that we had a good co-operation with Boris and I'm sure that we will have good co-operation with Jeremy."<\/p>\n
