The French President has said that the UK must provide more clarity about its negotiating position on Brexit. <br/><br/>Emmanuel Macron said the issues of EU citizens' rights, the exit bill and the Irish border question must be settled before talks could be held on trade. <br/><br/>Yesterday, Theresa May made suggestions including a two-year transition period after Brexit and that the UK pay the EU for commitments previously made. <br/><br/>She hoped this offer, made in a speech in Italy, would unblock Brexit talks. In the first response by a European leader to the speech, Mr Macron welcomed her initiative, but said the British position still needed to be fleshed out.
