Heiko Maas says, no deal Brexit might have negative impact on jobs in Germany

It is not yet the time to consider a delay to Britain's exit from the European Union as the British parliament may come around to supporting the current deal, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Tuesday. "I wouldn't really want to think about the possibility of extending article 50 here and now. I don't think this is what we ought to focus on today," Maas told journalists during a visit to Dublin.

Maas said a no-deal Brexit "might have a negative effect on jobs in Germany and that is something that we intend to prevent at any possible cost."
