GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel warned the United Kingdom that it must pay what it owes the European Union (EU) as part of Brexit talks, saying it's misleading to view the costs as a divorce bill.
"This is about obligations that Great Britain has entered into and that naturally must remain on the books," Mrs Merkel said in her weekly podcast published on Saturday. "It's not about the cost of divorce - that makes it sound like fines. We're still at the very start of these negotiations."
