UK 'lacks negotiating experience' for Brexit, Norway's PM warns

The UK faces a "very hard Brexit" because it lacks experience in international negotiations, Norway's Prime Minister has warned. Erna Solberg said the UK's membership of the European Union meant it has been a "long time" since the country held complicated international talks on its own, and claimed this inexperience could slow down discussions. Although she expressed hope that the UK would be able to negotiate an agreement which kept it close to the EU, she warned it could be a difficult task.
