Boris Johnson will head to Brussels for post-Brexit trade talks after a phone call with the EU Commission president ended with “significant differences” unresolved.
The pair spoke on Monday afternoon – their second conversation in 48 hours – but were unable to overcome the three remaining stumbling blocks: Governance, the level playing field and fisheries.
In a joint statement, the Prime Minister and Ursula von der Leyen revealed they asked their negotiators to “prepare an overview of the remaining differences” and will meet face-to-face “in the coming days”.
