The deadline for Brexit talks has been postponed again after Brussels and London agreed “to go an extra mile” to resolve their differences, the head of the European Commission has announced after a call with the British PM.
“Despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over, we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile,” Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday after a phone call with Boris Johnson.
We have accordingly mandated our negotiators to continue their task and to see whether an agreement can be reached even at this late stage.
We had a useful call with @BorisJohnson this morning.
We agreed that talks will continue.https://t.co/rZpN4PmS1i
