EU, UK Fail to Reach Brexit Deal, Brussels Ready to Continue Talks

The European Union and the United Kingdom have failed to reach an agreement on the Brexit talks, however, the European Commission is ready to continue negotiations this week, EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has announced.


"Despite our best efforts and the significant progress we and our teams have made in the past days on the remaining withdrawal issues, it was not possible to reach a complete agreement today," Juncker said at a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.

According to Juncker, Theresa May is a tough counterpart in the Brexit talks and despite the significant progress made during the prime minister's visit to Brussels, two or three open issues remain.
