British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is likely to be dogged by Brexit throughout his three-day trip to the UN General Assembly in New York City.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson headed for the United Nations in New York on Sunday to argue that post-Brexit Britain will be a dynamic world power taking the lead on tackling climate change and an unstable Middle East. But he and his country face some big hurdles.

More than three years after Britain voted to leave the EU, the departure date has been postponed twice, and the U.K. Parliament has repeatedly rejected the only divorce deal offered. The country is facing a chaotic exit on Oct. 31 unless Johnson's government can, against the odds, secure a new agreement.

A senior British government spokesman said talks with the EU so far have been positive, but"there is an awful lot of work still to do." "We did not invent the Brexit," Juncker told Sky News in an interview broadcast Sunday."We were never pleading in favor of any kind of Brexit. That's a British decision, and so it has to be dealt with in that way."

Johnson is keen to keep on the good side of the mercurial president, since a future free trade deal with the United States is seen by the government as one of the main prizes of Brexit.
