LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is disappointed by the European Union's demand that London give more concessions to secure a trade deal but a deal is close and can be done, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Friday.

"We are disappointed and surprised by the outcome of the European Council," Raab told Sky News.

"We've been told that it must be the UK that makes all of the compromises in the days ahead, that can't be right in a negotiation, so we're surprised by that but the prime minister will be saying more on this later today."

"Having said that, we are close," Raab said of a deal. "With goodwill on both sides we can get there."
