German Chancellor Angela Merkel said efforts to negotiate Britain's withdrawal from the European Union were like "turning the circle into the side", two people familiar with the situation told Reuters.
They said she made the remarks Tuesday at a meeting of her Christian Democratic parliamentary group.
Sources said she said it was clear that control of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland could not disappear entirely, but the EU and German governments aimed to avoid a "hard" border in Ireland.
