Brexit: UK warns βvery large gapsβ remain with the EU
The UK has said that that βsignificant obstaclesβ to a post-Brexit trade deal remain with the EU β following emergency talks between UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Dinner talks with Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen tonight ended without agreement.
A senior No 10 source said "very large gaps remain" but negotiations will continue with a "firm decision" on the prospects of a deal by Sunday.
Mrs von der Leyen said in a statement that the two sides were "far apart".
