British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Friday Brexit talks with the European Union had hit an impasse, defiantly challenging the bloc to come up with their own plans a day after the bloc's leaders savaged her proposals.
At a summit in Austria on Thursday, EU leaders rejected May's "Chequers" plan, saying she needed to give ground on trade and customs arrangements for the UK border with Ireland.
The British media said the response had left her proposals in tatters, and May angrily struck back in a televised address from her Downing Street office, saying neither side should expect the impossible from the other.
"Throughout this process, I have treated the EU with nothing but respect," May said.
"The UK expects the same. A good relationship at the end of this process depends on it."
After the summit, EU leaders said they would push for an agreement next month, but both sides have warned they are planning for a no-deal scenario. "It's not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counter proposals," May said.
