THE UK will quit talks on leaving the European Union unless the bloc drops its demands for a divorce payment of as high as 100 billion euros (S$155 billion), Brexit secretary David Davis said.

Britain's negotiations would otherwise be plunged into "chaos", and even a £1 billion (S$1.8 billion) settlement would be "a lot of money", he said in an interview published in The Sunday Times.
