British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wants to get a Brexit trade deal and there is a still a chance of getting one but he will not back down on the two main outstanding issues, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said on Friday.

"Still, I think, there is a significant possibility that we could get that deal," Dowden told Sky News. "We're pretty much 90% of the way there."
