Iceland's PM voices no-deal Brexit concern

The Prime Minister of Iceland Katrín Jakobsdóttir has told Â鶹ԼÅÄ Scotland's The Nine programme that she would be concerned if the UK left the EU without a deal.

She was speaking as the clock ticks closure to the 29 March Brexit deadline.

In an interview with chief news correspondent James Cook, Ms Jakobsdóttir said: "Brexit without a deal must be a very difficult position for the UK, so it is therefore also a concern for us - both because we have economic interests, also because we think of the UK as our friend in the world."

She was also quizzed about national sovereign and agreed Scotland could "absolutely" be independent. However, Ms Jakobsdóttir added: "That is not a decision I am going to make."
