The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, has said a "narrow path" has opened up for the UK and EU to strike a post-Brexit trade deal. As the two sides continue crunch talks in Brussels before the transition period comes to an end on December 31, Ms von der Leyen said she could not guarantee “whether there will be a deal or not”, but added: “The path may be very narrow but it is there." It comes after talks were extended past a provisional deadline set for last Sunday, with both parties agreeing to “go the extra mile”.
