British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a joint statement, the negotiation teams have worked day and night over recent days. Despite the stress after negotiations that lasted nearly a year, and despite the expiration of the deadline after another .. We believe that responsibility requires us to make an additional effort.
and added the statement. Accordingly, we instructed our negotiators to continue the talks and to see if an agreement could be reached even at this late stage.
But Johnson said Britain and the EU had different positions on the main issues in the trade talks, and added to reporters, “I fear we are still at odds on some of the main things ... We will keep talking to see what can be done.” The UK will definitely not withdraw from the negotiations.
