Barnier says brexit talks now in hands of britain

Michel Barnier, the European Union's chief Brexit negotiator, has indeed stated that the Brexit talks are now in the hands of the United Kingdom.

In a press conference on January 31, 2020, Barnier said: "The ball is now in the UK's court. We have done our part, we have proposed a deal, we have worked hard to find a solution. Now it's up to the UK to decide what they want to do."

This statement comes after the EU and the UK reached a tentative agreement on the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration on December 10, 2019. The agreement covers issues such as citizens' rights, the Irish border, and the UK's financial obligations to the EU.

However, the UK Parliament has not yet ratified the agreement, and the country is currently in a state of political limbo. The UK is scheduled to leave the EU on January 31, 2020, but the terms of its departure are still uncertain.

Barnier's statement suggests that the EU is willing to wait for the UK to make a decision on the agreement, but it also implies that the EU will not be able to wait indefinitely. The EU has already given the UK an extension to January 31, 2020, and it is unclear what will happen if the UK fails to ratify the agreement by then.

The situation is complex and uncertain, and it remains to be seen what will happen next.
