Well, would you look at that: Brexit talks are still on.
Last week, the United Kingdom and the European Union set a Sunday deadline to negotiate the terms of their future relationship. Sunday didn’t bring a deal. But it offered maybe some small glimmers that the UK and the EU might just be able to reach a pact by the true deadline of December 31.
So the two sides are going to keep working at it. “Despite the exhaustion after almost a year of negotiations, despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over, we think it is responsible at this point to go the extra mile,” British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said in a joint statement, released Sunday.
