Ursula von der Leyen: UK deadline makes full Brexit deal impossible
EU commission chief questions Johnson’s timeframe as she arrives for Downing Street talks
The president of the European commission has said it will be “impossible” for the UK to negotiate a comprehensive deal covering all aspects of Brexit within the timeframe set by Boris Johnson.
Ursula von der Leyen’s warning came just hours before her first face-to-face bilateral meeting with Johnson, who revealed that they had attended the same school while he lived in Belgium.
