LONDON (Reuters) - British Business Secretary Greg Clark said on Saturday there were grounds for optimism that Britain would strike a Brexit deal with the European Union days after Prime Minister Theresa May said talks were at an impasse
EU leaders have dismissed May's proposals which many of her own lawmakers have heavily criticised. She has repeatedly said no deal would be better than a bad deal.

"There are grounds for optimism that we can reach an agreement on this," he said.
