National Extra If Boris Johnson offers no compromise, the responsibility for the ensuing chaos will land at his door only
TIME is running out on an EU-UK trade deal. Boris Johnson’s much-hyped dinner with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, on Wednesday evening, made no progress at all on the crunch issue of how to ensure fair competition and a level-playing field. The EU’s 27 leaders then had an all-nighter summit Thursday to Friday to resolve some of their own big priorities including the future EU budget, Covid recovery fund and climate change targets for 2030. President von der Leyen briefed EU leaders on Brexit at the summit for less than ten minutes with a gloomy prognosis that No Deal is now more likely than a deal. But other EU leaders, including France’s president Macron and Dutch prime minister Rutte, continued to insist on Friday that a deal could be done.
