UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson will travel to Brussels for an in-person meeting with the European commission President Ursula von der Leyen, for last ditch effort in making the Brexit trade agreement. The meeting should be held in the coming days, possible on Wednesday or Thursday. A joint announcement confirmed after both leaders talked on phone yesterday.
Nevertheless, the statement maintained that “the conditions for finalizing an agreement are not there due to the remaining significant differences on three critical issues: level playing field, governance and fisheries”.
