| Description | An agreement could be reached by Wednesday morning, people close to the talks say, but talks could still stall.
he U.K. and the European Union are moving closer to agreeing to a draft plan for Britain to leave the bloc, people familiar with the talks said on Tuesday, with a deal possible by Wednesday morning.
EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier told a meeting of government ministers earlier in Luxembourg that a deal on a draft Brexit text was needed by midnight Tuesday if he was to recommend on Wednesday that EU leaders sign off on an agreement when they meet later this week.
A deal was still not complete and there could be last-minute political or technical setbacks, but the two sides were closing in on a draft text, people familiar with the talks said. In London, Boris Johnson was meeting with some of his Conservative party’s strongest Brexit supporters. |
