Talk:Brexit divorce bill

the EU will allow a future trade agreement to be linked to the payment of the divorce bill?
The sentence does not seam so obvious: will allow + to be linked.
 * What does it mean?
 * Is there any source to support that claim?

I assume it means that without a previously agreed divorce bill, it will be harder (or not possible) to agree a future trade deal agreement?

If this is the case, we could use more explicit verbs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.67.202.121 (talk) 11:55, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
