Johnson has spoken to several EU leaders but he has yet to say when he will make his first visits abroad.

British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has told European Union (EU) leaders he will sit down for Brexit talks when they indicate that they are ready to shift position on the divorce deal, otherwise Britain will prepare for leaving without an agreement, his spokeswoman said.

Since becoming prime minister last week, Johnson has spoken to several EU leaders but he has yet to say when he will make his first visits abroad.

“The PM has been setting out to European leaders the position … that the Withdrawal Agreement with the backstop hasn’t been able to pass parliament on the three occasions it was put in front of parliament. Therefore it needs to change,” the spokeswoman said on Monday.

“The prime minister would be happy to sit down when that position changes. But he is making it clear to everybody bespeaks to that that needs to happen,” she told reporters.
