Brexit Talks Continue at Fragile Time For UK Politics

Share Print 0

Brexit talks resumed Thursday with no indication that a breakthrough is in reach: the Europeans are taking a cautious approach even as both sides hope for an agreement by year-end.European diplomats in Brussels are concerned about the U.K.’s political crisis, and are trying to avoid sending Britain overly encouraging signals about how talks are progressing, according to a person familiar with the situation. Countries including Germany asked negotiators on Wednesday not to rush into preparing documents for trade talks, to avoid creating the impression that negotiations are moving on, the person said.While Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar is upbeat that a deal could be done by December, the time to make that happen is running short. Talks started on Thursday morning and a press briefing is scheduled for Friday.
