Brexit update: Very large gaps remain between the two sides
|With only weeks to the end of the Brexit transition period, traders were hopeful that a face-to-face meeting between Johnson and Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen can break the deadlock.
Ahead of the meeting, Johnson warned the European Union must scrap demands that he said were unacceptable if there was to be a Brexit trade deal.
However, in recent trade, a senior UK source has said that very large gaps remain between the two sides and it has been agreed that by Sunday a firm decision should be taken about the future of the talks.
The European commission president Ursula von der Leyen also stated, ''we gained a clear understanding of each others´ positions. they remain far apart.''
