The British and EU chief Brexit negotiators had a 'constructive' meeting in Brussels as efforts to secure a deal ahead of Britain's scheduled departure date of Oct. 31 intensified. More here:
BRUSSELS - The European Union agreed on Friday to enter intense talks with Britain to try to break the deadlock over Brexit, lifting financial markets with a sign that a deal could be done before the Halloween deadline.
By Thursday British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar said they had found “a pathway” to a possible deal, and by Friday some officials were expressing guarded optimism. A diplomat and an EU official said EU negotiator Michel Barnier had told member states that Britain had changed its position and now accepted that its proposed replacement of the so-called “backstop” cannot involve a customs border between EU member Ireland and Northern Ireland.
But in a sign of the precarious nature of the talks, the Democratic Unionist Party , the small Northern Irish party which supports Johnson’s government in parliament, warned it would only compromise so far.
