Brexit trade talks to reconvene in Brussels in last gasp effort to secure deal

The reconvening of talks was confirmed by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a joint statement following their phone call on Saturday, which was in itself a bid to overcome the continuing deadlock. 

“In a phone call today on the ongoing negotiations between the European Union and the United Kingdom, we welcomed the fact that progress has been achieved in many areas,” the statement read. 

The current transition period for the UK’s withdrawal from the EU is due to expire on December 31.
