British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU s Executive Commission President Ursula von der Leyen say Brexit talks deadlocked.
BRUSSELS London and Brussels face a make-or-break decision on an elusive trade agreement Sunday, after a week of tension and deadlock that left a tumultuous no deal exit for Britain from the European Union s orbit on Dec. 31 looking more likely than not, Reuters reported.
Negotiators had till Saturday s evening to resolve an impasse on arrangements that would guarantee Britain zero-tariff and zero-quota access to the EU s single market, though talks could carry on if they miss the deadline.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the president of the EU s executive Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, both said on Friday that a no-deal was now the most likely outcome.
