The EU and UK have agreed to continue negotiations to secure a Brexit deal, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has announced.
On Sunday, the Commission president had a “constructive and useful” phone call with Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, where they discussed the outstanding stumbling blocks to a deal.
“Our negotiation teams have been working day and night over recent days and despite the exhaustion after almost one year of negotiations and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over, we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile.
