Jeremy Hunt told the BBC on Saturday the EU should work with Britain to try to find a way to make Prime Minister Theresa May's "sensible, concrete proposals actually work."
He spoke one day after May used a rare televised address to complain the EU was acting in bad faith by rejecting her proposed Brexit plan without offering an alternative.
