Episode 86: Jeremy Hunt, UK Foreign Secretary




POLITICO's EU Confidential show

Summary: U.K. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt talks to POLITICO's Ryan Heath in this extra edition of our podcast. Hunt once took heavy fire from Brussels for making a comparison that invoked the EU and the Soviet Union. But he's been much more diplomatic lately in his dealings with the EU. In this exclusive interview in our Brussels office, he talks extensively about Brexit. “It’s massively in everyone’s interest to get back to stability,” Hunt says, adding that he hopes negotiations between London and Brussels will yield a revised deal “in the next few days.” A quick resolution is necessary, Hunt says, “for the sake of sanity of the population of Britain and indeed of Europe.” In addition to Brexit, Hunt discusses Huawei, Facebook, the Iran nuclear deal and more.
