Fate of Brexit Uncertain as Both Sides Agree to Extend Talks with Just 2 Weeks to Spare

HeadlineDec 14, 2020

The European Union’s chief negotiator said “some limited progress” has been made today on contentious Brexit negotiations. The EU and the United Kingdom agreed to extend Brexit negotiations beyond Sunday’s deadline as the two parties struggle to make an agreement that would avoid a no-deal divorce at the end of this month. But both sides said over the weekend a deal is unlikely. This is British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson: “There are some serious and very, very difficult issues that currently separate the U.K. from the EU. And the best thing to do now for everybody is to follow up all the work that’s been done over the last four-and-a-half years, colossal amount of preparation at our ports, everywhere across the U.K., get ready to trade on WTO terms.”
